Gun battles have raged on the streets of Kabul after the Taliban launched a wave of deadly suicide bombings in the Afghan capital.
A child, a soldier and a police officer were among five people to have died in one of the worst insurgent attacks on the city.
Police sealed off the city centre and sent snipers onto rooftops after the blasts, which the militants said were aimed at the presidential palace, government ministries and the central bank.
A huge explosion was reported at 11.20am (0650 GMT), shortly after one of the bombers blew himself up near the palace.
