One of the biggest NATO bases in Afghanistan came under attack Wednesday, the military alliance said, in a strike claimed by the Taliban.
"Jalalabad airfield is under attack. I can confirm it. It is still going on, so I can't give much detail," said Lieutenant-Commander Iain Baxter, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force.
"The attackers couldn't enter the base," he told AFP.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed claimed the attack on the Jalalabad base in eastern Afghanistan in a telephone call to AFP.
It is NATO's largest base in Afghanistan after Kandahar in the south and Bagram in the suburbs of Kabul, which have both been attacked by insurgents in recent months.
