KABUL: Nato says seven attackers have stormed a base of the US-led coalition in Kandahar province of southern Afghanistan.

The coalition says the attackers breached the outer security of the base on Tuesday in Shah Wali Kot district, but were then killed by guards at the compound.

Provincial spokesman Javid Faisal says initial reporting indicates that at least one foreign worker was killed and two other foreigners were wounded, but this could not be independently confirmed.
