(24 Jan 2018) A group of gunmen stormed a non-governmental children's organization in eastern Nangarhar province, killing one person, said provincial officials.
Attahullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor, said the Wednesday attack was against Save the Children's provincial office in Jalalabad.
Inamullah Miakhial, spokesman for Nangarhar regional hospital, said one person was killed and at least 14 wounded were brought to the hospital.
The casualty count might rise as a gun battle was still underway, he said.
The attack started with a suicide bomber and was followed by gunfire, said Khogyani.
Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said the Taliban was not involved in the attack; both Taliban insurgents as well as Islamic State group fighters are active in eastern Nangarhar province.
