As a massive bomb blast rocked Kabul, India today said its Embassy in the Afghan capital and all the personnel working at the mission are safe.

"The mission is safe. Our personnel are safe," MEA officials said here soon after the suicide car bomb attack took place near the NATO headquarters.

Officials at the Ministry of External Affairs got in touch with the Embassy immediately and were told that all the personnel working with the mission were unharmed.
