It's been another deadly day in Afghanistan as a suicide bomber driving an ambulance packed with explosives attacked Kabul on Saturday, killing at least 95 people and injuring more than 150 others. CGTN's Toby Muse has more.

The international Red Cross is calling use of an ambulance to penetrate security and kill so many civilians harrowing. The driver passed through a military checkpoint in central Kabul, claiming he had a patient in the back he urgently needed to take to hospital. At a second checkpoint, the attacker detonated his charge.

NASRAT RAHIMI DEPUTY SPOKESMAN, AFGHAN INTERIOR MINISTRY "The route was leading to the former interior ministry and this route was also leading to Indian consulate, Indonesian Embassy and the High Peace Consul office. And the attacker wanted to cross that the same route. Police identified the suicide attacker and before the police could kill the attacker, he (the attacker) blew up the explosives in front of Chicken Street and unfortunately caused such a huge number of causalities."

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack - the deadliest in the country so far in a year's time. A week ago, the Taliban stormed the Intercontinental Hotel, leaving 22 dead. Afghanistan's Interior Ministry has specifically blamed the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network for both assaults.

The ferocity of Saturday's attack has shocked Afghanistan. The force of the blast was felt across the city. Thick plumes of black smoke were visible from all over Kabul.

ALAM BLAST VICTIM "I was sitting in the office when suddenly an explosion happened. Right after the explosion our office collapsed and all windows shattered."

The United States has been in Afghanistan for 16 years. This latest attack is more evident that victory for the US and the Afghan government over the Taliban insurgency is far from close. Toby Muse, CGTN, Washington.
