At least four US service members have been killed in an attack apparently carried out by an Afghan soldier at a base in northern Afghanistan, according to an Afghan military official cited by Reuters. The US has confirmed that several American service members have been injured in Afghanistan. Earlier reports said four foreigners were killed in an apparent attack by an Afghan soldier at an Afghan military base.
“An Afghan soldier shot and killed four American troops inside the base,” said a spokesman for the Afghan Army’s 209th Corps, Abdul Qahar Araam, as cited by Reuters. “We are investigating,” he added. The US military command in Kabul confirmed that an unspecified number of American soldiers were injured in an incident at a base in northern Afghanistan on Saturday, but denied that there were any fatalities among US service members.
The US military command in Kabul said it was “aware of an incident” at Camp Shaheen, the HQ of the 209th Corps in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, but would not immediately provide any details, the agency added.
