Two police officer were martyred and six others wounded in the bombing, said Provincial Governor Spokesman Assadulalh Dawlatzai.
Moreover, at least 20 students of a religious Madrasa, which is located near to the police headquarter, were also wounded due to broken of window glasses, he added.
“In an immediate move, the wounded people have taken to hospital for treatment.”
