A Reuters reporter at the scene saw the bodies of two men who appeared to be suicide bombers and a blown-up car that had apparently been used to destroy the main entrance of the jail.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said gunmen and the bombers attacked the prison at 2 a.m. (2200 GMT Sunday) and freed all prisoners.
Security officials would not confirm how many prisoners were in the jail or the number of casualties.
