Indian high commissioner to Afghanistan Jayant Prasad told media persons that Indian staff at the embassy is safe and except minor injuries, nobody has suffered any serious wound. But he added some portion of the building housing Indian embassy has been damaged by the deadly suicide explosion, those injured are ITBP security personnel who  were guarding Indian embassy at the time of explosion and received shrapnel from the suicide bomb explosion.      

According to reports emanating from Kabul, considering the location of the suicide explosion-it can be easily assumed, the deadly blast was planned to rip through Indian embassy, however, may be due to stringent security suicide bomber triggered the blast somewhat away from Indian embassy.  

In a similar incident in July 2008, a deadly suicide attack killed 41 people including a senior IFS officer and defence attaché, leaving Indian embassy in a heap of rubble.
