A district police chief lost his life in clash with Taliban militants in the western Ghor province on Friday, provincial police chief Mustafa Mohsini said.
"Abdullah Khan Dawlati, the police chief of Pasawand district, was killed as clash erupted in parts of the restive district in the wee hours of Friday," Mohsini told Xinhua.
The official, however, avoided providing more details.
Taliban militants who are active in parts of Ghor province including the Pasawand district are yet to make comment.
This is the second ranking security official who has been killed over the past two days.
In the previous incident, a senior army official, General Abdul Basir Shahrvand, was killed as a roadside bomb struck his van in Shah Wali Kot district of the southern Kandahar province Thursday morning.
