"We can confirm an explosion outside Kabul airport. Casualties are unclear at this time. We will provide additional details when we can," Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a tweet.
The blast was said have taken outside of the one of the airport's gates where British troops are stationed to oversee the evacuation. A suicide bomber was suspected.
There was no report about any British casualties, the BBC quoted a UK Defence Ministry sources as saying.
