Kabul roadside blast injures five - local TV

The target of the attack appeared to have been an open-backed vehicle similar to a Toyota Hilux, according to eyewitnesses and media report. But there were no further details and no official confirmation of the figures.

The attacks have added pressure on the Taliban government, which is grappling with a deepening economic crisis, and a dent in its assertion that it has restored security to Afghanistan after decades of war.
