The governor of Afghanistan's northern Samangan Province has survived a roadside bomb attack claimed by Taliban militants.
The attack occurred as Khairullah Anosh was traveling to work on July 27 in a pickup truck.
He and two bodyguards sustained minor injuries.
The attack came a day after a suicide bomber riding a motorcycle struck a marketplace in the restive Ghazni Province in Afghanistan's east.
The attack killed the bomber and seven other people, including a local police commander and three of his men.
Taliban attacks have been on the rise since departing foreign troops handed security control to Afghans last month.
