Explosion reported at governor’s office in Afghanistan’s Ghor province

An apparent explosion struck the governor’s office in Firozkoh, the capital of Afghanistan’s Ghor province, multiple Afghan media outlets reported Tuesday.

Initial reports gave no details on the cause of the blast, possible casualties or extent of damage. There was no immediate confirmation of the incident from Taliban authorities.

The reports come amid ongoing security concerns in parts of Afghanistan, where sporadic attacks and explosions have been reported despite the Taliban’s claim that it has restored security across the country.

Firozkoh (formerly Chaghcharan) is the administrative capital of Ghor province in central Afghanistan.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the details were unclear, and the reports could not be independently verified right away.
