Suicide bombers have attacked the British Council offices in Kabul on the public holiday marking Afghanistan's independence from Britain.
At least three people were killed in an initial attack.
"Eight people, mostly police, are killed and 10 others injured," Siddiq Siddiqui of Afghanistan's interior ministry said.
"Apache helicopters have been circling around the building and the battle is still ongoing."
It is unclear if any Britons have been killed or injured in the attack.
The Taliban has claimed it launched the attack on the British cultural institution in Kabul to mark the country's independence from Britain in 1919.
