KABUL, June 10 (Reuters) - Two explosions were heard in the Afghan capital on Tuesday, but it was not immediately clear what caused them or wether there were any casualties, residents said.

Kabul has seen a series of suicide attacks by the resurgent Taliban in recent years, but demining agencies also sometimes carry out controlled explosions of detected landmines as well as ordinance, a legacy of the country's three decades of war.
