The first major attack in Saturday’s parliamentary elections is said to have taken place in a school in the northern Kabul neighbourhood of Khair Khana.
A doctor treating the wounded said three people were killed and six wounded.
Both the upstart local Islamic State affiliate and the Taliban threatened violence during elections, warning people to stay away from the polls.
Instead, outside most polling stations there were lines of people waiting to mark their ballot.
