Kabul, June 18

 Two explosions on Saturday ripped through a busy road near a Sikh temple in Kabul, with casualties unknown.

"We heard a huge blast in Kart-e-Parwan neighbourhood at around 6 a.m. It was followed by another explosion which occurred about half an hour. The whole place has now been sealed off," a witness told Xinhua news agency.

The security forces have cordoned off the area for precautionary measures, he said.

The blast sent a column of thick smoke into the sky and triggered panic.

"There is fear of possible causalities. Several warning shots were also fired by the security forces," the witness added.
