Two explosions and gunfire have rocked a US base in Afghanistan with the Taliban claiming responsibility for the attack.
The insurgents said they inflicted casualties during the assault on the compound in Jalalabad.
The militants said in a telephone call to AFP that they had also launched an attack on Jalalabad airport.
Security forces surrounded the area. NATO officials were not immediately available for comment.
"We can confirm there have been multiple explosions in the vicinity of the Jalalabad airfield," the US-led coalition said in a statement.
"Currently, ISAF officials are on the scene gathering facts, and as more information becomes available, we will release it as appropriate."
In February, a suicide car bomber killed nine people at the base at an airport, almost exclusively used by NATO and the US military.
The US and Afghan government are scrambling to improve security before most NATO combat troops withdraw at the end of 2014.
