KABUL – Afghan officials said 43 people have died in a suicide and gun attack on a government compound in this capital.
They say 25 others were injured during Monday’s siege at the Afghan ministry of public works in the capital.
Hundreds of employees were trapped inside the building at the time – and some reportedly jumped to safety.
It is not immediately clear who carried out the attack. Both the Islamic State group and Taliban have carried similar attacks in the past.
The incident reportedly started with a suicide car bomb blast near the building’s entrance, before gunmen stormed inside. (BBC)
