Kabul: Three explosions rocked a high school in western Kabul on Tuesday (today), killing at least six and injuring children, according to Afghan security and health officials. 

According to the head of a hospital nursing department said at least four people had been killed and 14 wounded in the blasts.

He later added that six had been killed and 11 injured in the explosions.

Another medical centre, Emergency Hospital, said in a Tweet they had received seven children injured in the explosions.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which followed a lull in violence over the cold winter months and after foreign forces withdrew last year.

In the meantime, the Taliban say they have secured the country since taking power in August, but international officials and analysts say that the risk of a resurgence in militancy remains and the Islamic State militant group has claimed several major attacks.
