Police were responding Wednesday night to reports of an attack at the American University of Afghanistan, possibly involving gunfire and an explosion.
“We have been notified of a complex attack on the American University on Darul-Aman Road,” the commander of Kabul police’s quick reaction force told NBC News, adding, “We still don’t know the exact nature of the attack.”
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Massoud Hossaini tweeted that he was at the complex and heard shooting and an explosion:

Earlier this month, five gunmen wearing Afghan military uniforms abducted two professors — an American and an Australian — from the school. No group has claimed responsibility for the kidnappings.
