KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghan and NATO officials in Afghanistan say five rockets have been fired at a major U.S. base. There are no casualties reported. A spokeswoman for the governor in northern Parwan province says the rockets hit Bagram Airfield.
She says 12 rockets were placed in a vehicle and five of them were fired while police were able to defuse seven others. A NATO official confirmed the attack and said initial reports indicated that the airfield was not damaged.
No one has immediately claimed responsibility for the assault. In April, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for five rocket attacks on the base. The IS also has claimed responsibility for multiple attacks in Kabul in recent months including on educational institutions that killed 50 people, most of them students.
