At least three people were killed and 18 people, including five Chinese nationals, were injured after gunmen opened fire inside a hotel popular for hosting foreigners in Kabul on Monday.
Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack which reverberated through the Longan hotel in central Kabul’s Shahr-e-Naw area where Chinese and other foreigners usually stay.
The Taliban-run administration said three gunmen who attacked the building were killed by security forces after the shootout which occurred at around 2.30 pm on Monday.
Five Chinese nationals were wounded in the attack, China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Tuesday.
The attack pushed China to lodge representations with the Taliban.
