An explosion has ripped through a protest march in the Afghan capital, Kabul, with at least 50 people killed or wounded, officials say.
The blast hit Deh Mazang square as thousands of people from the Hazara minority marched to demand changes to the route of a planned power line.
They are angry that the route bypasses areas with large Hazara populations.
The cause of the blast is unclear, although Tolo news cited reports that a suicide bomber was behind it.
No-one has yet said they carried out the attack.
'Death to discrimination'
A freelance journalist working for BBC Afghan said blood and body parts were everywhere, with debris strewn around.
A large part of Kabul's city centre had been sealed off for the protest march.
The demonstrators had waved banners and chanted "death to discrimination", angry that the 500kV power transmission line from Turkmenistan to Kabul would not pass through Bamyan and Wardak provinces, which have large Hazara populations.
The Hazaras - mostly Shia Muslims - make up the third largest group in Afghanistan. They live mainly in the centre of the country.
They complain of persistent discrimination, especially during Taliban rule in the late 1990s, when many of them fled to Pakistan, Iran and Tajikistan.
