A group of Hungarian soldiers serving in the provincial reconstruction team (PRT) in northern Afghanistan was attacked by local gunmen on Saturday but no injuries were reported, the Defence Ministry told MTI.
The Hungarian soldiers were patrolling when an armed group attacked them from ambush 40 kms north of Pol-e-Khomri at around 0930 CET, the ministry said in a statement.
The Hungarian patrol countered the attack and returned safely to their base.
