A powerful explosion has killed more than 10 people and wounded 15 in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar.

The target appeared to be a mini-bus carrying labourers working for United States-led military forces, which was hit during rush hour in the heart of the city.

More than 900 people have been killed in violence in Afghanistan this year during the worst wave of violence since the Taleban were ousted in 2001.
