GHOR: The United Front, led by Sami Sadat, has claimed responsibility for an explosion that occurred at the Taliban governor’s office in Firozkoh, the provincial capital of Ghor province.
The front has not provided details about possible casualties or the extent of damage caused by the explosion.
Local sources said that following the incident, the Taliban tightened security measures across parts of Firozkoh and blocked roads leading to the governor’s office.
Sources also said that Taliban authorities had arrested at least 10 individuals over alleged connections to the explosion. The identities of those detained and the specific allegations against them were not immediately clear.
The reported arrests come as Taliban authorities increase security around government facilities following the blast. It was not immediately known whether those detained had been formally charged or whether any evidence linking them to the incident had been made public.
The United Front’s claim of responsibility could not be independently verified. There was also no immediate detailed statement from Taliban authorities confirming the reported arrests or providing information about casualties.
The explosion and subsequent security measures have raised concerns about security around government installations in Firozkoh. Further investigation would be required to establish the circumstances of the incident, identify those responsible and determine whether the detained individuals were directly connected to the blast.
