Monday’s attack took place at a main square near the U.S. Embassy and the country’s Supreme Court.

Faredoon Obiadi, chief of the police’s criminal investigations department, says an army officer is one of the two wounded.

He says a so-called sticky bomb was attached to a military vehicle and caused the explosion. No group claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the Taliban have stepped up attacks across Afghanistan.
