ISIS on Monday claimed responsibility for an attack on Taliban forces in Kabul which it said has left 20 people dead and 30 others wounded.

A spokesman for Afghanistan's Taliban-run interior ministry said an explosion outside the military airport in the capital Kabul had caused multiple casualties.

But the interior ministry denied casualty figures claimed by ISIS and said it would release the official death toll.
