According to security officials at the scene, the attack was targeted at a convoy of armored cars and seven people said to be injured.

Kabul’s Deputy Police Chief, Sayed Gul Agha Rouhani, told reporters that a suicide bomber had driven a vehicle into the first checkpoint on the road into the airport.

Images showed a large plume of smoke rising from the site of the blast and locals reported seeing ambulances approaching the scene.

Those killed were four civilians and a border police officer.

The incident is the latest in a series of violent attacks in Kabul in the past few days.

At least 35 people had died and hundreds more were wounded in an attack on Friday, as a suicide bomber blew himself up near the city’s police academy in the evening, killing about 20 recruits. Not long after that, a large explosion was heard north of the airport.
