Two explosions have caused a number of casualties at a boys' school in the Afghan capital Kabul, police say.

The blasts were reported at the Abdul Rahim Shahid high school in Dasht-e-Barchi, a Shia Hazara neighbourhood in the west of the city.

They happened as students were leaving morning classes, one witness told the AFP news agency.

The number of dead or wounded is still unclear. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
