Afghanistan: Afghan Nato base comes under attack by talibans
Suspected fighters have launched a rocket and ground attack on Nato’s main military base in southern Afghanistan, days after a similar assault on the coalition’s military base in Bagram.
Nato officials said the fighters fired a number of rockets and mortars at the Kandahar Air Field on Saturday, wounding an unspecified number of Nato troops.
“Kandahar Air Field came under indirect fire at approximately 8:00 tonight and shortly afterward a ground attack was under way as well,” a Nato spokesman said.
