Dozens Killed as Taliban Launch Fresh Assaults on Afghan Bases

Taliban terrorists launched two separate attacks on Afghan security installations killing dozens of soldiers Thursday.


At least 43 Afghan soldiers were killed in a Taliban-claimed assault on a military base in southern Afghanistan which saw the insurgents blast their way into the compound with at least one explosives-laden Humvee, the defense ministry said, AFP reported.

The militants then razed the base in the Chashmo area of Maiwand district in Kandahar province to the ground, according to the ministry.

"Unfortunately there is nothing left inside the camp. They have burned down everything they found inside," defense ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri said.
