Militants armed with suicide bombs, guns and rocket-propelled grenades struck the police headquarters in the city centre around noon.
Explosions shook the area as police and Afghan soldiers fought the attackers for several hours.
Dozens of people were reported injured in the attack on the city, which is the birthplace of the Taliban.
