KABUL - Suicide bombers struck the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing two people and injuring scores in a major attack that could scupper plans to revive peace talks between the United States and the Taliban.
The U.S.-led military coalition said the attack was “quickly contained and repelled.” Taliban fighters who unsuccessfully tried to breach the airfield were killed in a series of airstrikes, the Resolute Support mission said in a statement. Five servicemen from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, which is part of the coalition, were among those injured, the country’s defense ministry said in a statement. The majority of casualties were Afghan.
Two attackers detonated vehicles laden with explosives at the southern entrance to the base, while five more opened fire. Some of the fighters barricaded themselves inside a medical facility they had attacked, the coalition of foreign forces in Afghanistan said in a statement.
