Violence raged yet again Saturday in Afghanistan , including a battle at a sprawling military base that British troops gave up last month and an attack on a home for aid workers in Kabul . In the former , Taliban insurgents began an assault Thursday night on Camp Bastion , a facility in Helmand province that Britain handed over to Afghan authorities on October 14 . That fighting was still going on Saturday . By then , at least five Afghan troops and nine Taliban fighters had been killed , according to Omar Zowak , a spokesman for the provincial governor . Camp Bastion housed British and coalition troops -- among them Britain 's Prince Harry -- during the Afghanistan war . As such , it 's been a frequent target for the Taliban . Yet it 's hardly the only place where Afghan authorities and their allies are under threat . Two aid workers -- one of them a foreign national -- died after housing for them in the western part of Kabul was attacked , said Hashmat Stanikzai , a spokesman for the Afghan capital 's police chief . Afghan forces arrived at the scene , battling three attackers for three hours before killing them , according to Stanikzai . The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack . Stanikzai declined to reveal the nationality of the slain foreign aid worker , but locals and eyewitnesses told CNN that the organization he worked for is based out of South Africa .
