KABUL: At least two soldiers were killed after Taliban attack on a Nato base in the eastern Afghan province of Kunar and wounded six, a local spokesman for Nato’s International Security Assistance Force said.
The attack came a day after gunmen dressed in Afghan police uniforms and wearing suicide vests stormed a government compound in the southwestern province of Farah, killing seven people and wounding 12 others.
