A powerful explosion struck the Taliban governor’s office in Firozkoh, the capital of Ghor province, according to local sources.
Sources have claimed that Hibatullah Akhundzada’s son-in-law was among those killed in the blast. However, the reported death has not been independently verified, and no official confirmation has been issued by Taliban authorities.
The circumstances surrounding the explosion also remain unclear. Some local sources have attributed the incident to anti-Taliban forces, but there has been no independent confirmation of responsibility.
Details about possible additional casualties, injuries or damage to the governor’s office were not immediately available.
The explosion reportedly caused fear among residents in Firozkoh, with authorities yet to provide a detailed public account of what happened.
The reported incident comes amid continuing security concerns in Afghanistan, including occasional attacks targeting Taliban officials and government facilities. However, the available information does not establish who was responsible for the latest blast or whether it was a deliberate attack.
Further information from Taliban authorities or independent sources would be needed to verify the casualty claims and determine the circumstances and responsibility for the explosion.
