A suicide attack rocked the central Logar province of Afghanistan earlier today leaving several people wounded, according to the local officials.

The incident took place at around 10:30 am local time in the vicinity of Pul-e-Alam city, the provincial capital of Logar province.

Provincial governor’s spokesman Salim Saleh confirmed the incident and said the information received by them shows at least eleven people were wounded.

Saleh further added that the target of the attack was the provincial security chief but it is yet not clear if he escaped from the attack unhurt or not.

No individual or group has so far claimed responsibility behind the incident.

Logar is among the relatively volatile provinces in central Afghanistan where the Taliban and other terrorist networks are actively operating in its various districts.
