A group of insurgents attacked the district headquarters late on Saturday night, the deputy police chief, Ghulam Jilani Farahi, told Pajhwok Afghan News.

Eleven fighters, including their commander Syed Noor Zakir, were killed in retaliatory fire from Afghan National Army (ANA) soldiers and police, he said.

The bodies of three fighters left at the scene were handed over to tribal elders for transferring, he added. The rest of the corpses were taken away by the attackers.
