NATO: 1 killed in attack on Bagram Air Field
KABUL — NATO says one person was killed in an early morning rocket attack on Bagram Air Field north of the Afghan capital of Kabul.
A NATO spokesman said Monday the base received some rounds of indirect fire, but disclosed no details of the attack.
Abdullah Adil, the police chief in the Bagram district of Parwan province, says one rocket was fired about 4 a.m. A Taliban spokesman told The Associated Press that two rockets were fired on the base.
Separately in Ghazni province, Afghan police say three civilians were killed and three others were wounded when their vehicle hit a roadside mine while they were moving household goods. In Paktika province, police say Afghan security forces killed three suicide bombers Monday morning before they could launch an attack in Barmal district.
