VTV.vn - Gunmen attacked a British security contractors' compound in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Wednesday, killing at least 10 people and wounding 19 only hours after President Ashraf Ghani outlined plans for peace in Afghanistan. Among the victims, there were both children and foreigners.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which started when a car bomb exploded outside a facility of the G4S security group on the main road leading out of Kabul towards eastern Afghanistan.

Violence in Afghanistan continues to escalate, despite Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's announcement of a comprehensive plan for peace talks with the Taliban.
