At least two security force members were killed and three others were wounded in a Taliban attack on a military base in Andar district of Ghazni, the Ministry of Defense said in a statement on Wednesday.
“At the start, a Taliban suicide bomber drove toward the base but was destroyed before reaching its target,” the statement said, adding that “The Taliban attack was repelled and they suffered casualties as well.”
A security source said earlier that the clashes started at 12:00am the night before and continued into Wednesday morning.
“First a car bomb detonated close to the base and then a number of attackers started fighting with security forces,” the source said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
