Warning sirens blared out from the embassy compound, which is also close to the headquarters of the main NATO-led mission in Afghanistan.
There was no indication of the source of the blast, but rocket attacks remain relatively common in the city. The US embassy said they were not affected by the blast. The NATO military coalition also said they were unaffected.
