Description:
At least three people were killed and seven injured after a blast ripped through a hotel in southeastern Afghanistan's Khost province on Monday, the province's media office said.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the blast.
Afghanistan's Taliban administration has been carrying out raids against members of Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for several major attacks in urban centres in recent months.
Separately, Pakistan has sought a public decree from the Afghan Taliban chief declaring activities of banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as un-Islamic, official sources revealed to The Express Tribune.

The demand from Pakistan for an explicit order by Taliban Supreme leader Haibatullah Akhundzada came after the recent surge in cross border terrorist attacks.
Pakistan dispatched a senior diplomat to Kabul for a three-day trip with a clear message that the interim Afghan government will have to abide by the commitment it made with the international community in Doha Agreement.
When the Pakistani side led by Ambassador Asif Durrani, special representative on Afghanistan, pressed the senior Taliban leaders to come good on their promises for not allowing TTP to operate from Afghan soil, he was told that the Taliban chief had issued an executive order declaring attacks against Pakistan as forbidden and haram.
The executive order or decree was circulated internally and was not made public, according to sources familiar with the development.
However, Pakistan asked the Afghan side to make that decree public because only then it will make an impact.
