Explosion Reported Near Gate Of Bagram Air Base
An explosion was reported Saturday near the fourth gate of Bagram Air Base in Parwan province, local sources said.
The blast occurred around 4:30 p.m. near Seh Dokan, on the eastern side of the base. A source told Afghanistan International that demining teams had carried out a controlled detonation of discovered explosives.
Earlier, the Taliban’s provincial police command said remnants of old explosives had been found and that engineering teams were conducting technical assessments and disposal work.
No further details were immediately available on the nature of the explosion.
The incident comes as US President Donald Trump has renewed calls for the United States to regain control of Bagram. He has warned that “bad things will happen” if the Taliban refuse to hand the base back to Washington.
