With the explosion, a nearby market caught fire, gutting 15 shops, police officer Sikandar told Pajhwok Afghan News. One person was killed and four others were injured in the incident, he said.
But the Pul-i-Khumri civil hospital in-charge Dr. Gul Mohammad Wardak said they had received a dead body and five injured people at the hospital from the blast site. One of the injured persons was discharged after treatment and the four were admitted.
Police said fire fighters had launched efforts to douse the huge blaze.
Mohammad Azam, who owns a mobile phone shop, said the fire quickly engulfed his shop and turned into ashes all his commercial goods worth one million afghanis.
Police said they were investigating the incident, for which no group has so far asserted responsibility.
