(CNN) At least 20 people were killed and 30 wounded in blasts at Afghanistan's biggest military hospital on Tuesday, according to officials. Gunfire followed the explosions at the entrance of Kabul's Daoud Khan Military hospital, a 400-bed teaching facility near the capital's former diplomatic quarter. A doctor treating incoming patients at the nearby Wazir Akbar Khan civilian hospital said at least 15 wounded people had been admitted to his facility's emergency ward, several in critical condition. In addition, the Italian humanitarian NGO "Emergency" tweeted that nine injured were brought to its hospital in Kabul. Three armed men were seen inside the compound of the hospital near the entrance of the building after two blasts rocked the area, according to footage posted on Facebook and obtained by CNN.
