At least five people have been killed and four others injured during clashes between police and gunmen who stormed a police station in Afghanistan’s western province of Herat.
The spokesman for the provincial governor, Jailani Farhad, said two gunmen attacked the building on Saturday and killed three policemen, one civilian and a child.
He added that four policemen were also wounded before the attackers were killed.
Members of the Afghan National Security Forces seized a vehicle packed with explosives from the site of the raid.
Interior Ministry’s spokesman Najib Danish said that police special forces were deployed to the area.
No group has claimed responsibility for the assault yet but the Taliban have carried out similar attacks in the past few years.
