Pakistan's embassy in Kabul came under attack on Friday with Chargé d'Affaires to Afghanistan Ubaidur Rehman Nizamani targeted, according to a statement issued by the Pakistani Foreign Ministry.
Initial reports indicated that at least one embassy guard was injured.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned what he called a "dastardly assassination attempt."
"I demand immediate investigation and action against the perpetrators of this heinous act," the prime minister tweeted. He later confirmed that he had spoken to the mission head and was relieved to hear that Nizamani was safe.
Separately on Friday, three unidentified militants detonated a car bomb and tried to storm the headquarters of an Afghan party headed by veteran politician Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, officials said.
Ghairat Baheer, an official with the Hizb-i-Islami party, said that two attackers were killed as they tried to enter the Kabul building – which also houses a mosque – and a third escaped.
