Officials said parts of the hotel had caught fire. Special forces were reportedly trying to engage the attackers.

The state-owned hotel was the target of a Taliban attack in 2011 that left 21 people dead, including nine attackers.

The attack comes just two days after the U.S. Department of State issued a warning that "extremist groups may be planning an attack against hotels in Kabul."
