At least two people were killed and seven others injured after two gunmen assailed the temple in an hourslong attack, according to Khalid Zadran, a Taliban-appointed spokesperson for the Kabul police.
He said the assailants also died in fighting against Taliban security forces.
Those killed included a Sikh worshipper and a member of the security forces, he added.
A car bomb also detonated in the area but caused no casualties.
Videos on social media showed black smoke emanating from the temple in Kabul’s Bagh-e Bala neighborhood.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
A spokesman for the Taliban’s interior ministry said armed assailants first hurled grenades at the guards of the temple and then entered the Hindu temple.
