( CNN ) -- A band of insurgents dressed in U.S. Army uniforms waged a deadly assault on U.S.-British military complex in Afghanistan before being beaten back by coalition forces , NATO 's International Security Assistance Force said Saturday . Two U.S. Marines and 14 insurgents died in the `` sustained '' fighting during the Friday-night attack , ISAF said . The Taliban claimed responsibility , saying the strike was in response to the anti-Islam film stoking anger across the Muslim world . ISAF said the attack started just after 10 p.m. Friday when about 15 insurgents -- organized into three teams -- waged an assault on the airfield of a complex that includes American-run Camp Leatherneck and the British-run Camp Bastion , where British royal Prince Harry is stationed . Wearing U.S. army uniforms , the attackers toted automatic rifles , rocket-propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests . One of their teams was able to breach the perimeter fence , at one point , according to ISAF . The insurgents inflicted considerable damage around the base , including destroying six AV-8B Harrier jets and damaging two others . Six aircraft hangers suffered damage , while six refueling stations were destroyed . The violence ended after coalition troops killed all but one of the attackers . The lone survivor was wounded and taken into custody , ISAF said . Eight coalition military personnel and one civilian contractor were also wounded . An ISAF statement detailing the attack gave no indication how the insurgents might have obtained U.S. Army uniforms . Earlier Saturday , ISAF said the camp is secure and the strike would not `` impact '' air and ground operations . Camp Leatherneck , the U.S. side of the base , was not affected by the attack , Maj. Adam N. Wojack , an ISAF spokesman , told CNN . White House says Karzai , Obama committed to preventing Afghan riots . The assault occurred amid anger over the film denigrating the Prophet Mohammed . Angry protests tied to the film , a trailer of which was posted online on YouTube in July but only gained widespread attention this month , have occurred in recent days at American and other Western diplomatic missions across the Muslim world . Still , despite such protests and the Taliban claim tying the attack to the film , ISAF spokesman Maj. Martin Crighton said there had no organized demonstrations outside its gates before the attack . A week ago Friday , Prince Harry arrived in Afghanistan for a tour as an Apache helicopter pilot in the British military , Defense Ministry said . He is deployed at Camp Bastion with the 100-strong 662 Squadron , 3 Regiment Army Air Corps . Harry , the grandson of Queen Elizabeth II and third in line to the British throne , is a captain in Britain 's Army Air Corps . The prince `` was in no way in any danger '' during the latest attack , Crighton said . Violence has been rife in Helmand and other parts of southern Afghanistan , which is considered the Taliban heartland , since a U.S.-led force first went into the country after the September 11 , 2001 , terrorist attacks . Separately , the British Defense Ministry on Saturday announced the deaths of two members of the 3rd Battalion of that nation 's army in Helmand province . A man wearing an Afghan police uniform fatally shot the two soldiers at a checkpoint in the south of the province 's Nahr-e Saraj district , Maj. Laurence Roche , a spokesman for Task Force Helmand , said in a statement released by the British defense ministry . This is the latest so-called insider or green-on-blue attack in which members of Afghan security forces are suspected of turning their weapons on coalition or Afghan soldiers . It was not immediately known where the incident occurred and where the slain service members were from . Another British soldier died Saturday in a separate incident in Nahr-e Saraj , according to the UK defense ministry . This troop was killed when the vehicle in which he was traveling in struck a bomb . CNN 's Jessica King and Greg Botelho contributed to this report .
