Jalalabad attack
Nangarhar provincial governor's spokesman Attaullah Khogyani informed AFP that there were two explosions near the city's directorate of finance.
At least 4 Afghan nationals were killed and 20 others injured on Sunday in deadly suicide blasts ahead of a gun battle between Afghan security forces and militants in Jalalabad area of Afghanistan.
The attack took place on Sunday afternoon when a suicide attacker detonated a bomb near a building, the TOLO broadcaster reported.
However, an eyewitness said four explosions have been heard in the area.
Jalalabad is the capital of restive Nangarhar, which borders Pakistan. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but both the Taliban and a local Islamic State affiliate reject democratic elections and have targeted them in the past.
