A car packed with explosives blew up outside Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Works on Monday, with gunfire then breaking out, the interior ministry said.

There have been no word on casualties, it added.

Nasrat Rahimi, a spokesman at the interior ministry, said several gunmen took up positions in a nearby building after the blast and exchanged gunfire with Afghan security forces.
