Slovak soldiers in Afghanistan came under fire at the Kandahar Air Field base on Thursday morning, but none of them suffered injuries, said Defence Ministry spokesperson Martina Ballekova.
“The ECP-5 entrance gate of the Kandahar Air Field base came under fire at around 11.15 a.m. local time. Slovak servicemen were also stationed at the base,” said Ballekova, adding that all Slovak soldiers are well. Slovak soldiers in Afghanistan have come under fire several times. Three Slovaks were killed last year - Daniel Kavuliak during a shooting spree of an Afghani soldier at the Kandahar base, and Patrik Frastia and Edmund Makovnik were killed by a roadside bomb in Kabul in late December.
