At least 10 people are dead and 23 wounded after suicide bomber blew up his car near the house of a pro-government militia commander in the province of Nangarhar in Afghanistan.
The car blew up in front of the house of the commander on Tuesday, according to Attaullah Khogyani, a spokesman for the provincial governor.
It was unclear whether the militia leader, whose name was given only as Dehqan, was injured in the attack.
"The commander was leading fighting against Taliban and Daesh insurgents in Nazian district," Khogyani said.
"The bomber was in front of his house and as soon as people from the village came together, he detonated himself."
