At least 10 people have died and 19 were injured after a compound for British security firm G4S was attacked, authorities said.

There was reportedly a heavy exchange of gunfire. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack.

While the interior ministry confirmed the death toll, it also warned the number could well rise.
