37 people including Children and Women were killed in a Taliban attack on a civilian and military airfield in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar. Kandahar security officials put the number of attackers at 12 and added that all of them were killed.
The attack, which continued for 26 hours, also resulted in 35 people being injured, before Afghan Forces took the situation under control. The audacious assault began at 6.00 pm on 8th Dec when 12 suicide bombers breached the security perimeter and the fighting intensified over the night.
Even though soldiers asked Taliban attackers to let Women and Children go, the attackers declined the request. Unfortunately 37 innocent Afghans were killed and 35 others were injured in this deadly attack.
The airport compound houses Afghan military and civilian people as well as a Nato base. As per official report, the attackers initially managed to breach the front gate of the complex.
This attack comes after the meeting of regional leaders in neighboring Pakistan to make Peace regarding the Afghan conflict.
