Kabul, Afghanistan – A member of the US Armed Forces was killed in an "attack attack" in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, announced Saturday the US Army in Kabul. Sgt. Debra Richardson, spokesman for Resolute Support, first-class, said in a statement that another member of the US military service had been injured during the attack.

According to initial reports, the attacker was a member of the Afghan security forces and the assailant was immediately killed by other Afghan forces.

The two US soldiers were evacuated for medical reasons to Bagram Airfield, where the injured soldier is on medical treatment and is in a stable state, the statement said.
