| (35 minutes later) | |
| A suicide bomb outside Kabul airport has killed at least four people, three of them reportedly foreigners, officials say. | |
| The nationalities of the foreigners are not yet known, but they have been described as "advisers". | |
| Reuters reports that the Taliban said they carried out this attack. | |
| Kabul airport is used by both civilians and the military, and this comes days after Afghan forces repelled an audacious attack on the airport. | |
| Heavily armed militants attacked the airport with grenades and automatic weapons. Four insurgents were left dead and one security official wounded. | |
| The attacks come against the backdrop of a hotly-disputed election process. | |
| The election commission is conducting an audit of votes cast during a presidential run-off, held on 14 June, amid warnings of instability. | |
| Ashraf Ghani won the 14 June run-off, according to preliminary results. Mr Abdullah came top in the first round in April, but failed to secure 50% of the vote to avoid the run-off. | |
| Both candidates accuse each other of electoral fraud. |
