At least two security guards have been killed after two suicide bombers launched a coordinated attack on a lawmaker's house in Nangarhar province, said an Afghan official.

Attahullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor, said both suicide bombers detonated suicide vests full of explosives outside of Afghan parliamentarian Zahir Qader's house in Jalalabad, the provincial capital, on Wednesday morning.

Another guard was wounded in the attack, said Khogyani.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. Nangarhar province is one of the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan where both the Taliban and the militant Islamic State (IS) group affiliates operate.

It also borders neighboring Pakistan and has been the scene of heavy fighting in recent years.
