At least three people died and seven others were injured in a blast that rocked a hotel in Afghanistan's Khost city, media reports said on Tuesday.
Citing a statement from Khost security, Kabul's security spokesman, Khalid Zadran, said on Twitter that the blast happened at a hotel near Spin mosque in the city, in which a number of “Waziristan refugees” and “Khost residents” were killed and wounded, reports Tolo News.
The statement said that three dead bodies and seven wounded were brought to the hospital.
Taliban's security forces condoned off the area after the blast.
Interestingly, the blast occurred just a day ahead of Taliban's two year completion of snatching power in Afghanistan.
