"The loud blast erupted close to the Nato's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) headquarters and in an area of the capital that houses many embassies and international institutions.
ISAF confirmed that the blast occurred outside their headquarters, while the US embassy sounded its emergency "duck and cover" sirens to warn employees to seek shelter.
"It was an accident, not an enemy act," Lutfullah Mashal, an official from the national directorate of security (NDS) intelligence agency, told AFP.
"The blast happened in a depot for unexploded ordinance. It was totally an accident. There are no reported casualties, but there are some damages.""
