Saesh (Islamic State) said on Sunday a suicide bomber targeted the Afghan vice president near Kabul airport, the group's Amaq news agency.
It said the bomber detonated his suicide jacket at a celebration held to receive the vice president, Abdul Rashid Dostum, but gave no further details.
Dostum narrowly escaped a suicide bomb attack at Kabul airport as he returned home on Sunday from more than a year in exile in Turkey over allegations of torturing and abusing a political rival.
