Three explosions struck the Afghan capital on Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring 17 others, Afghan officials said.

At least two Afghan journalists were also injured in the blasts, according to a local non-governmental media organization, the Associated Press (AP) reported.

A sticky bomb attached to a bus carrying university students left one person dead and wounded ten others, said Nasrat Rahimi, spokesman for the interior ministry.

Two roadside bombs were then detonated nearby about 20 minutes later.

The two Afghan journalists killed were identified as, Ahmad Jawed Kargar and Mohammad Faseh Mutawakil, according to Nai, a media organization that supports open media in Afghanistan.

Kargar, a photographer for the European Pressphoto Agency, confirmed he was injured by a secondary explosion in a video he posted to social media while being taken to the hospital.

Nai said Mutawakil had been lightly wounded.

According to AP, no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but both Taliban and ISIS militants are active in the capital and have staged attacks in Kabul.
