On the morning of 1 March 2019, Taliban gunmen and suicide bombers attacked Camp Shorabak in Helmand Province , Afghanistan . They killed 23 Afghan soldiers and injured another 15.[1] [2] [3] [4] insurgents were killed.[1] US Marine advisers stationed at the military base were injured.[citation needed
The attack [ edit ]
The attack took place in the early hours of the morning.
Taliban fighters stormed the ANDSF [Afghan National Defence and Security Forces] base at Camp Shorabak in Helmand , southern Afghanistan, which is home to the Afghan army's 215th Corps and includes a US garrison of a few hundred Marine advisers.[5] [6]
One suicide bomber detonated his explosive device in a canteen. A total of three suicide bombers were killed in the attack.[7] [5]
Claim of Responsibility [ edit ]
The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, their second against a major military target since the start of Taliban-US peace talks, probably to strengthen their negotiating position.[6]
