Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Six men with explosives strapped to their bodies attacked a governor's office in northeastern Afghanistan just before dawn Wednesday, authorities said.
One of the attackers blew himself up; the others were shot dead by Afghan security forces, said Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for the interior ministry.
The attack at the officers of the Panjshir governor also left one police officer dead and four others injured.
Panjshir is one of 34 provinces that make up Afghanistan.
In recent months, militants have repeatedly tested the Afghan security forces.
With international troops gradually moving out of the country, local police and the Afghan army have been left responding to the increasing attacks on their own.
