Kabul. Two NATO soldiers were killed and six others wounded in a rocket attack on their base in Afghanistan's eastern province of Kunar Friday, an Afghan official with NATO forces said, AFP reports.
"Two ISAF soldiers were killed and six others injured in a Taliban rocket attack on an ISAF base in Nari district today," a local spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force said.
Two other local officials confirmed the account, while the ISAF press office in Kabul said that "two service members died following an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan".
ISAF has around 130,000 soldiers fighting alongside some 350,000 Afghan security personnel against a Taliban-led insurgency.
They are due to pull out of the country in 2014, and details of the process will be hammered out at a NATO summit in Chicago starting on Sunday.
