KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban fighters attacked a NATO base inside Kabul’s international airport early Monday, setting off a gun battle that was still going on more than two hours after it began.

The attackers fired rocket-propelled grenades into the base from a multi-story building outside the airport’s perimeter. Dozens of explosions could be heard in the area as NATO and Afghan security forces responded. NATO said that the attackers had not breached the wall that surrounds the base.

There was no word on NATO casualties. Afghan police said they’d killed several of the attackers, including one who’d been firing RPGs at the airport. Two others had been trapped in the building’s basement, according to a local government official.

NATO, citing Kabul police chief Gen. Mohammed Ayoub Salangi, reported that a police officer firing an RPG had destroyed an explosive-laden small truck that the attackers may have intended to use to blow their way into the air field.

A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.
