After nearly 20 years of deployment, with the second largest contingent of troops after the United States, Germany has evacuated its forces from Afghanistan, calling the withdrawal “the end of a historic chapter”, with the coalition of the willing no longer willing and pulling out its forces one by one.

The US military has vacated its biggest airbase in Afghanistan as part of a final withdrawal from the war-torn country to be completed by the next months. 

A US official says the US military will hand over its main Bagram Air Base to Afghan forces in about 20 days.

Bagram Airfield, the largest US military base in Afghanistan, has come under a rocket attack, Afghan officials say.

US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan say five rockets have hit a major American airbase in the country and that the attack, claimed by the Daesh terrorist group, left no casualties.

Afghanistan is set to release from prison 100 Taliban militants in a prisoner exchange for 20 of its security personnel.

At least one person is dead and about 100 others injured in bomb blasts and ensuing clashes after an attack on the United States' largest military base in Afghanistan.
