Local broadcaster TOLOnews reported that the attack involved a suicide bomber detonating a vehicle laden with "hundreds of kilograms of explosives" and the militants then making their way into the compound of "Department 10" of the National Directorate of Security (NDS)[2] and opening fire. The bomb that detonated caused a ceiling to collapse in a classroom where elite intelligence officers were being trained. An Afghan security official said members of that unit accounted for about half of the people killed. The local broadcast station said that a two-hour gun battle ensued between the militants and security forces.Later in the day, a Taliban suicide car bomber targeted a minibus owned by Kaboora production company, which is affiliated to TOLOnews, killing seven people during the evening rush hour. The bus was taking employees home from the office in central Kabul when the attack took place, at around 5:00 PM local time.

Sediqi, a spokesman for the Afghani Interior Ministry, said that despite the target, most of the victims were civilians.[1] Ismail Kawasi, spokesman for the Public Health Ministry, said that 327 wounded have been brought to area hospitals.[1] On 20 April 2016, Sdiqi confirmed in a tweet that 64 "innocent Afghans" were killed and 347 wounded.Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabhullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack.[6] He said as many as 92 security staff and soldiers were killed.It came after the group announced its annual "spring offensive", Operation Omari.TLOnews confirmed in a live broadcast that the bus was Kaboora's and that six of their staff had been killed. The identity of the seventh victim is unknown. Ismail Kawusi said that at least 20 people were wounded in the bombing, including women and children. The evening bombings came after a threat by the Taliban the previous year to target the television channel after it reported allegations of summary executions, rape, kidnappings and other abuses by Taliban fighters during the battle for Kunduz. The Taliban had said then that the reports were false.
