According to APA, at least 20 have been killed and more than 50 injured as suicide bomber rammed a truck full of explosives into a road construction company building in southeastern Afghanistan. The Ministry of Interior said in a statement on Monday that the attack happened at a building of the Zahir Road Construction Company in the Bermal district of Paktika province. The Ministry said preliminary reports indicate that the attackers first shot dead a security guard at the gate of the company before proceeding, crashing their truck filled with explosives into the building. The Taliban took responsibility for the terrorist attack. Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said the attack killed 49 NATO and Afghan soldiers, a claim rejected by Afghan and NATO officials. The officials said most of the victims were workers of the construction company.
