A group of six suicide bombers attacked the Panjshir Provincial Governor's office early Wednesday, officials said.
The Provincial Governor, Keramuddin Keram said the attack was carried out at around 3 am by six suicide bombers and continued till 5.30 am.
"Six suicide bombers wearing police uniform entered the Governor's office. Our security forces acted swiftly and all the bombers were killed," Keram added.
One policeman was killed and two others injured in the attack. He added.
"The suicide bombers belonged to Pakistan and Uzbekistan. The entire incident was planned in Pakistan. The security forces have started investigating the attack," Keram told TOLOnews.
"An explosives-packed car that had not been detonated was also recovered from the scene," officials said.
Taliban insurgents claimed responsibility for the attack, through a text message sent to the media.
Panjshir, a Tajik area in the north-eastern part of Kabul, was a bastion of anti-Taliban resistance during the extremists' 1996-2001 regime, and has been among the most peaceful provinces in Afghanistan since they were ousted.
This incident took place after a major attack was carried out by the Taliban in Kabul city on Friday. They launched an attack on the compound of International Organisation for Migration (IOM) in the city centre, triggering a gun-battle that lasted several hours.
Last month, the Taliban in a statement said that they will launch their annual spring offensive in Afghanistan.
The statement said that the group will start its annual spring operation codenamed 'Khalid bin Walid'. The Taliban has also warned civilians to stay away from official gatherings, military convoys and centres regarded as legitimate targets by the militants besides warning people not to support the Government and foreign troops.
Last week, in Baghlan province, which is a neighbour to Panjshir, a suicide bomber targeted the Provincial Council building, killing 14 people including a Provincial Council's Chief.
