The NATO-led Resolute Support Mission (RSM) in Afghanistan said the Taliban rocket was destroyed with 0 casualties as the alliance rejected the Taliban claims of incurring casualties near Bagram.
The alliance further added that two minor injuries were incurred from an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack.
“Taliban claims of US casualties near Bagram are false. Taliban rocket destroyed with 0 casualties; 2 minor injuries from an IED,” NATO-led RSM said.
Local officials in Bagram district of Parwan earlier said the US military patrol was targeted in an IED attack late on Tuesday evening.
The Taliban group spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed earlier today that two armored vehicles of the US forces were destroyed and at least 12 soldiers were killed in a suicide attack carried out by the group in Bagram.
Bagram is among the relatively volatile districts in northern Parwan province of Afghanistan as the anti-government armed militant groups often attempt to carry out attacks on Afghan and foreign forces.
A suicide bomber attacked the convoy of the US forces in the vicinity of Bagram province late in the May this year but no casualties were incurred to the US forces.
At least 6 NATO service members were killed in a similar attack in the vicinity of Bagram province late in the month of December last year.
