Suspected Taliban militants have launched an attack in the Afghan capital Kabul, setting off explosions and sparking a gun battle.
The fighting erupted near the Serena Hotel and presidential palace, although Afghan President Hamid Karzai says security has now been restored.
The Taliban said 20 fighters were involved. At least 11 people have been killed and dozens hurt, officials say.
This is the latest in a series of increasingly brazen attacks on Kabul.
A statement on a Taliban website said the raid had specifically targeted government buildings and the hotel.
