At least 10 Afghan local policemen and six civilians were poisoned and killed in the eastern province of Ghazni Tuesday night, local officials said.

The incident took place in the Gado area of Andar District yesterday night when the policemen ate poisoned food, deputy provincial council chief Abdul Jameh Jameh told TOLOnews.

"Ten police and their six civilians guests [The civilians were the guests of the local police?] were poisoned and killed at the check post," he said.

Provincial police chief Zorawar Zahid, who visited the area, confirmed the report.

"We have started an investigation into the incident," Zahid said.
