In a statement released by the U.S.-led NATO coalition, nearly 20 insurgents armed with explosive vests, guns and rocket-propelled grenades infiltrated the perimeter of Camp Bastion. This huge British base houses U.S. Marine operations adjacent to Camp Leatherneck, which is located in southern Helmand province. The attack is said to have taken place shortly after 10 p.m. Friday and ended up killing two NATO service members, damaged multiple aircraft and structures as well as wounded several other service members.
