Afghan militants killed a NATO coalition force member during an attack on the US air base at Bagram, outside Kabul, Reuters reported citing a NATO statement.

The attack on the main military airfield in Afghanistan took place on Tuesday evening and the nationality of the service member could not immediately be released, a NATO official said on Wednesday.

The NATO statement, moreover, did not identify which militant group was responsible for the attack.

Bagram air base, guarded by US Marines and partnered forces, frequently comes under rocket attacks from Taliban militants.
