“The Australian Embassy in Afghanistan, which is based in the hotel, has been relocated,” a ministry statement said.

“The staff of the embassy are safe and well. We are working to contact all Australians who are registered with us as living in Kabul, to confirm their safety and advise them to avoid the Serena Hotel at this time,” it said.

The attack, which targeted Norway’s Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and his accompanying delegation, claimed the lives of seven people, including an American and a Norwegian journalist.
