The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has closed following deadly insurgent attacks on a German Consulate and an American military base, Associated Press reported.

In a statement late Saturday, the embassy says it will be "closed for routine services" Sunday "as a temporary precautionary measure."

The unusual decision comes after four Americans — two soldiers and two contractors — were killed in a suicide attack Saturday on the Bagram Airfield near the capital, Kabul.
