[KhaamaPress] Media outlets reported on Wednesday that a joint military base of Afghan and foreign troops was hit with a Taliban

rocket on Tuesday.

According to a released video in which a Taliban front man confirms that the Taliban fired rockets at an old airport in Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
, the group claimed that the attack has left heavy casualties to the Afghan forces stationed in the base, media reported.

In a statement by security force members in Khost also confirmed that Talibs targeted the coalition base.

The statement added that the Taliban fired off rockets at the military headquarters of coalition forces in Khost by violating the Doha agreement.

Taliban attack on coalition bases indicates that the group is not committed to peace, the statement read.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
KPF claimed that the missiles did not hit the base but a residential area close to the coalition base.

Meanwhile,

district in Kapisa province, local police told media.

In the second incident during the early Wednesday morning, a local army vehicle struck a roadside kaboom in which two security force members including Habibullah, the commander were killed and two others were reportedly injured.

The incident happened in Aaba village of Sayad district in Sar-e-Pul province.
