A NATO official said Saturday one of its soldiers was killed in an overnight attack on a key military base near Kabul. The soldiers nationality has not been released.

Authorities were still gathering information about the attack on the Camp Integrity facility which left three people dead, including two insurgents. The base, near Kabul, houses US Special Forces.

"One Resolute Support service member and two insurgent attackers were killed," Colonel Brian Tribus, chief of public affairs for NATO's Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan said in a statement.

The strike on Camp Integrity came barely 24-hours after multiple bombings rocked the Afghan capital on Friday. At least 35 were believed to have died and hundreds more were wounded. The bombings were believed to be the first major militant assaults on Kabul since the announcement of Taliban leader Mullah Omar's death last week.
