The Afghanistan Times publication cited a security official as saying the suicide bomber targeted a local police commander and his bodyguards in the Syagard district of the province. The assailant is thought to have carried out the attack aboard a motorcycle.

A nearby area of Dand-i-Ghori has been said to be under the Taliban insurgency’s control for the past nine months.

The militants reportedly claimed responsibility for the deadly attacks.
