A suicide bomber drove an explosive-packed Humvee into a police compound in Afghanistan today (January 12, 2018), killing at least six officers and destroying a building, according to the Tip News website.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the pre-dawn attack on the Maiwand district police headquarters in the southern province of Kandahar.
The vehicle was carrying an estimated 6,600 pounds of explosives, Maiwand district police chief Sultan Mohammad said.
"We have six police officers martyred and five wounded," Mohammad said, adding the figures could change.
