3 separate explosions kill at least 5 in Afghanistan's capital Kabul

Three separate explosions in the Afghan capital Kabul on Saturday killed at least five people and wounded two others, a police official said, amid a surge in violence in the war-torn country, ABC News reports.

Kabul police spokesman Ferdaws Faramarz said the first two explosions took place 15 minutes apart, and a third targeting a police vehicle took place two hours later.

No group immediately claimed responsibility.
