At least three Afghan security officials were injured in a suicide attack that targeted the office of the governor of Nimroz province in the west of the country. This is disclosed in a statement by the Afghan Ministry of Internal Affairs.

“A suicide bomber attempted to attack the office of the governor of Nimroz province today, but security personnel identified and eliminated him before he could enter the building,” the statement said.

“Unfortunately, three security personnel were injured as a result of the attempted attack,” the statement said.
