The victims included two civilians and one member of intelligence National Directorate of Security (NDS). Among those injured was a NDS personnel, the spokesman added.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far but Taliban insurgents and Islamic State (IS) fighter have presence in the province, 120 km east of Kabul.
