Kabul - Arab Today
Over fifty people are feared dead in a major attack on the key army corps located in northern Balkh province of Afghanistan.
The preliminary casualties toll disclosed by the Afghan officials late on Friday night indicated that eight soldiers had lost their lives in the attack while 11 others had sustained injuries.
However, Colonel John Thomas, a spokesman for the US military’s Central Command, said that the attack resulted in probably more than 50 casualties, adding that a mosque and a dining facility on the base seemed to be the subject of the significant attack, Afghan (Khaama Press) reported.
The Ministry of Defense spokesman Gen. Dawlat Waziri said Friday night that the attack was apparently carried out by a group of ten militants.
He said two of the militants having suicide vests carried out a suicide attack while seven others were shot dead by the security forces.
Gen. Waziri also added that one of the militants was arrested alive by the security forces during the clearance operation.
The Taliban militants group claimed responsibility for the attack.
