SANAA, Oct. 21 (YPA) – At least twenty-five policemen, including a senior officer, were killed on Wednesday in an attack by militants in Takhar province, northern Afghanistan, Xinhua reported.

An armed attack struck government forces and killed 25 policemen, including a senior officer in the province, provincial government spokesman Mohammad Jawad Hajri said.

On Monday, at least 13 people were killed and more than 120 injured in a car bomb explosion in the western Afghan province of Ghor
