At least five policemen have been killed by a suicide bomber using a military Humvee in Afghanistan's eastern Ghazni province.
Arif Noori, the governor's spokesman in Ghazni, says 30 others, including a district governor and 18 policemen, were wounded in the Tuesday morning attack in Muqar district.
The Humvee was taken earlier by Taliban forces from the Afghan forces in a separate attack, Noori said.
Javed Bedar, spokesman for the provincial governor, said Abdul Rahman Falah, Kohistan district governor, was killed in Tuesday's attack.
Bedar said there were casualties among Afghan security forces, but couldn't provide an exact number because the gun battle was still going on.
"Reinforcements arrived in the area and they are trying to take back the district headquarters," he said.
The Taliban did not immediately comment on the attack.
The Taliban have agreed to a ceasefire coinciding with the three-day Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The holiday is set to begin later this week.
