At least two explosions have hit the diplomatic zone of Kabul, shortly after visiting US Secretary of State John Kerry left following meetings with Afghan officials including President Ashraf Ghani.

Gunshots were also heard on Saturday but it was not immediately clear what had caused the explosions, which came following a period of relative calm in the Afghan capital.
