Taliban militants have attacked government buildings in a city in eastern Afghanistan, reports say.
A US military official said militants with guns and other weapons targeted the governor's compound in Gardez, the BBC reported.
Reports said that some of the attackers were suicide bombers, at least two of them dressed in women's head-to-toe burkhas.
A separate attack took place in Jalalabad, near the border with Pakistan.
A spokesman for the governor said two militants were killed when they tried to gain access to the airport - a base for Afghan and foreign troops.
Taliban militants have carried out a number of similar co-ordinated attacks in the past.
