At least 13 people were killed when two bombs detonated at Kabul airport earlier today (Thursday, 26 August).

The Kabul Surgical Centre now says 60 people have presented at the hospital with injures as a result of the explosions.

The Ministry of Defence says there have been no reported British casualties following the attacks.
