Taliban on Tuesday morning launched an attack on the Obe district in the western province of Herat, the provincial governor Waheed Qatali said.

He said the attack started with the "destruction" of a bridge by the Taliban. The bridge, he said, connected the Obe district with other parts of the province.

"Three Taliban fighters, including their commander, were killed in the ongoing clashes," Qatali said. "This is their first group attack in the province after the three-day Eid ceasefire."

Taliban has not commented on the attack.
