An insurgent force of more than 100 militants has breached the outer walls of a small, US outpost in northeastern Afghanistan, inflicting heavy casualties.
The assault early Sunday killed nine US soldiers and wounded another 15. A NATO military official said the assault was launched from multiple sides in an attempt to overrun the base. In a separate incident, a roadside bomb blew up a vehicle of a US-based private security firm in southern Afghanistan, killing six Afghan guards. The guards, working for the USPI security, were struck Sunday as they travelled through the southern province of Helmand. Two other guards were wounded in the attack.
