A series of loud explosions shook central Kabul on Saturday, according to media reports.

There were no immediate reports on casualties but the explosions occurred in densely populated parts of the Afghan capital including near the centrally located Green Zone and at a neighborhood in the north, according to AFP.

The explosions reportedly happened at around 8:45 a.m. on Saturday.

According to Tolo News, several rockets landed in multiple locations in downtown Kabul a few minutes after two explosions rocked the city's Chehel Sutoon and Arzaan Qeemat areas.

The blast in Arzaan Qeemat killed one security officer and wounded three others, Tolo News reported without citing the source.
