He said the four attackers had approached the base, one inside a four-wheel drive vehicle and the others on foot.
"An kaboom targeted the PRT in Panjshir left two drivers dead and two guards of the PRT maimed," said Jangalbagh.
He said the drivers had been bringing fuel supplies to the base when it came under attack.
