"A group of insurgents attacked a local police outpost Saturday night in a remote area in Qoshtepa district," said Abdul Mannan Raoufi, a police official in Jauzjan province.
The police resisted for three hours. By the time reinforcement troops arrived the militants had left the area, Roufi said.
"Five insurgents were also killed and six were injured," he added.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
