安全部队在喀布尔杀死4袭击者

Afghan security forces have killed four attackers after hours of fierce clashes in the capital's diplomatic district overnight Tuesday.

Security forces say the assailants failed to inflict casualties on civilians or security forces. The attack began late on Tuesday night after four attackers tried to take control of a guest house and a nearby hotel. The place is located at the site of a hill in heavily guarded Wazir Akbar Khan in central Kabul.

Local media reports say the Taliban insurgent group claimed responsibility for the clash.
