Afghanistan: Afghan taliban fighters launched an attack near US military base
Taliban fighters wearing special forces uniforms have attacked a car park for NATO vehicles near a US military base in an Afghan province bordering Pakistan.
More than 30 vehicles stationed at the base before heading to Pakistan were torched or damaged as a result of early Monday’s attack, which was followed by a gun battle between the fighters and security forces, at the Torkham border crossing in Nangarhar.
NATO confirmed “a series of explosions” but said none of its personnel were killed.
There has been no word on Afghan casualties yet.
