The Defence Ministry, however, has declined to comment on the number of casualties, but the ministry spokesperson, Daulat Waziri, confirmed the attack took place.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in a media statement.
Afghan forces have struggled to combat a resurgent Taliban since the United States (US) and NATO forces formally concluded their combat mission at the end of 2014.
