Suicide bomb attack hits outside largest US base in Afghanistan, Bagram | |
(32 minutes later) | |
A powerful blast has ripped through a medical facility outside Bagram Air Base, the largest US military installation in Afghanistan, badly damaging multiple buildings but causing no casualties among foreign military personnel. | |
The attack took place north of Kabul, just outside Bagram, and targeted an under-construction medical base being built for civilians, according to the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan. | |
There were no US or coalition casualties, Resolute Support said in a statement, however it was not immediately clear if there were any deaths or injuries among local law enforcement personnel and the civilian population. | |
Given the scale of devastation, a police commander of northern Parwan province, Gen. Mahfooz Walizada, said earlier that casualties were very likely. Some reports alleged there was not just one but at least two blasts – followed by a heavy gunfight. | |
