US military releases photos showing Bagram Air Base damage following brazen Taliban assault
By: Shawn Snow  

The U.S. military released photographs Thursday showing damage at Bagram Air Base’s passenger terminal following a brazen assault by Taliban fighters Wednesday.

The Taliban failed to breach the Bagram base, but suicide bombing struck a medical facility outside the base that was undergoing renovations, a Resolute Support spokesman told Military Times.

A source on the ground detailed to Military Times that a firefight between the Taliban and Afghan and U.S. forces lasted nine to 10 hours. Taliban fighters barricaded themselves inside the medical facility they struck.

U.S. airstrikes eventually ended the attack.
