KHOST CITY (PAN): Several missiles were fired at a joint base of Afghan and foreign forces in the southeastern Khost province late Monday night, the western military alliance said Tuesday.

The attack in the Nariz area of Tani district caused no casualties or property damage, said an official at the NATO media office in the zone.

He told Pajhwok Afghan News all the missiles landed at barren land.

However, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said a number of foreign troops were killed and wounded in the strike.

Nariz area borders North Waziristan tribal region of Pakistan.

Two days ago, the foreign forces conducted an air strike in the area, killing seven militants.

On Monday, a vehicle of foreign troops struck a roadside bomb in Sabaryo district. The NATO media office said the forces suffered no casualties in the blast.

But Mujahid said five soldiers aboard the vehicle were killed in the improvised explosive device attack.

He added the tank was comprehensively destroyed in the blast.
