Afghan security officials confirmed civilian casualties in the incident.

The incident took place after a police station in the heart of Kabul came under attack by three suicide bombers wearing military uniforms.

Security officials said the first suicide bomber blew himself up outside the station and the two others were attempting to get into the city's first security district compound while exchanging fire with forces.

The two remaining suicide bombers were shot dead by Afghan security forces, officials said.

Right after the first suicide attack happened, people were panicking out of the Kabul Market known as Mandawi, the biggest wholesale market in Kabul that is full of businessmen and vendors almost at any time of the day.

The situation has gone back to normal, officials said.

The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack.
