Afghanistan blast: Taliban governor killed at his office

The Taliban governor of Afghanistan's northern Balkh province has been killed in an explosion at his office.

Mohammad Dawood Muzammil is the most senior official to be killed since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.

Violence has decreased sharply since then, but there has been a string of attacks on prominent pro-Taliban figures and other targets.

Local police said what caused Thursday's blast was unclear. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. read more
