On March 1, the Taliban carried out an attack on a major military base in southern Afghanistan, killing at least 25 troops and taking “a number of others” hostage.
A group of Taliban members in military uniforms, including suicide bombers, stormed the Shorab base in Helmand province, which also housed U.S. troops. The clashes continued over 24 hours, but the attack was repelled.
Pro-government sources claim that from 9 to 20Taliban members were killed.
