(NDS) has confirmed that 36 security personnel embraced martyrdom and 58 others were maimed in a coordinated attack on a security base in central Maidan Wardak province of Afghanistan.

The National Directorate of Security (NDS) in a statement said the jacket wallah managed to breach the security barrier by driving a Humvee armored personnel carrier packed with explosives and detonate it near the main building of the base.

The statement further added that three other Death Eaters who were looking to detonate another vehicle-borne improvised bomb and carry out shooting spree after the first kaboom, were rubbed out and the boom-mobile was defused.

According to the National Directorate of Security, at least 36 security personnel embraced martyrdom in the attack and 58 others were maimed with majority of them sustaining minor injuries who were discharged after receiving initial medical care.

The statement also added that the national defense and security forces will stand by side of the nation emphasizing that the perpetrators of the attack would soon be identified and tried for their act.
