Armed men stormed a hotel in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Monday.

The attack on the central Kabul hotel, which is known for catering to Chinese and other foreign nationals, was brought under control by security forces.

A Taliban official said three attackers were killed by security forces, and that two foreigners were slightly injured while trying to escape by jumping from a hotel window.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

In Kabul, a number of facilities related to foreign countries have been targeted in terrorist attacks.

In September, a suicide bombing outside the Russian embassy killed six people, including two embassy employees. An attack on the Pakistani embassy earlier this month left a guard injured.
