Public health ministry spokesman Ismail Kawasi said another 91 people were wounded in the attack in central Kabul.
The foreign partners of Afghanistan concerned about the ability of the security forces to withstand Taliban violence at the moment.
That attack was claimed by the Taliban and was followed a few hours later by a vehicle bomb in Share Naw, a business and residential area of the city close to the government and embassy district.
The commander of US and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation forces in Afghanistan, General John Nicholson, said last week that more than 900 Afghan soldiers and police personnel were killed in July alone.
“When the first explosion happened people crowded to the site and then the second blast occurred, which was really powerful and killed lots of people”, said Samiullah Safi, who witnessed the attack.
The toll from yesterday’s twin suicide attacks on the Defence Ministry in Kabul was revised up to 35 dead, including a general and four other officers and 103 wounded, ministry spokesman Mohammad Radmanesh said.
The shooting comes after at least 24 people were killed Monday in twin bombings near the Afghan Defense Ministry.
The insurgents on Monday night launched their attack on the NGO.
The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the latest attack, where one of its suicide bombers donated suicide vests caught soldiers and civilians rushing to help victims of the first explosion. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. He said the attack took place as ministry employees were leaving their offices for the day.
An hour before midnight on Monday, a suicide auto bomber targe. Senior police investigator Faredoon Obiadi said the suicide attacker was wearing military uniform. Security officials evacuated terrified civilians from their offices and homes near the explosion site.
Dozens of ambulances raced to the scene after the blasts, and security forces blocked off roads leading to the area.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Twitter the defence ministry was the object of the first attack, while police were targeted in the second.

President Ashraf Ghani condemned the incident and said Afghanistan’s enemies – an official terminology for Pakistan – have again showed that they were against Kabul’s development.
