Police chief Sharafuddin Sharaf said the attack happened in the Bla Murghab district of Badghis province.

He said the Taliban tried to storm the security outpost, triggering a three-hour gun battle and killing four members of the local police force. Three other policemen were injured.

The attack was the latest in a wave of violence across Afghanistan as the Taliban intensify their campaign ahead of the US-led foreign forces' withdrawal from the country in 2014.
