Mohammad Asif Waziri, a spokesman for the Taliban Police office in Balkh province, reported hours later that a vehicle carrying civilian personnel of the 209th AlFath Corps had been attacked, injuring three people. The injured were then taken to the corps hospital.
However, according to Khalid Pasoon, a spokesman for the Tahreek-e-Azadi Afghanistan, at least ten people were killed and twelve were injured in the incident.
