A suicide bomber struck an under-construction medical facility at Bagram, the largest U.S. military base in northern Afghanistan, Wednesday morning (December 11).

The Taliban is claiming responsibility for the attack, Afghan and U.S. officials said.

Two car bombs were involved in the attack, which was followed by a gun battle between the attackers and local security forces, killing two people and injuring over 70, according to the Afghan interior ministry.

There were no casualties to U.S. and coalition forces, according to U.S. military officials.
