An Afghan official says Taliban insurgents have killed at least three Afghan soldiers in an attack on a checkpoint.
Two other soldiers were wounded in the attack early Saturday. He says eight insurgents were killed and more than 10 others were wounded, Arif Noori, spokesman for the provincial governor of the eastern Ghazni province, said in a statement.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the fighters were able to overrun the checkpoint and seize weapons and ammunition.
The Taliban has stepped up its attacks on Afghan security forces in recent years, seizing control of several districts across the country.
