Provincial government spokesman Ayatollah Khoganiyani said a suicide bomber blew up a car bomb in the entrance of the Save the Children compound at 9:10 am local time. Then a group of armed people entered the compound. Currently, the security forces are firing with the attackers, he said.

The television broadcasts of the country's footage showed that thick smoke from the compound was rising. On the other hand, local media reported that the children of a nearby school were seen to leave the area after the shooting of gunshots.

However, even if no one claimed responsibility for the attack, it is assumed that it was Taliban. The province of Pakistan is surrounded by the Taliban from Pakistan and attacked the province. At the same time there are also members of the IS members. Since the year 2015, the Taliban and the IS have been sticking tightly.

In the meantime, Taliban gunmen killed at least 22 people in Kabul's luxurious hotel Intercontinental a few days ago.
