Gunmen and suicide bombers launched a pre-dawn attack claimed by the Islamic State group (IS) on a military compound in Kabul Monday Aaron Donald Jersey , killing 11 soldiers in the third major assault in the Afghan capital in recent days.
The series of assaults, including one of the deadliest bombs in Kabul in recent years, have left already war-weary citizens grief-stricken and angry as the Taliban and IS escalate their offensive.
Monday's attack on an Afghan army battalion killed at least 11 soldiers and wounded 16, a defence ministry spokesman said.
"Two bombers detonated themselves and two were killed by our forces and one was detained alive," the spokesman, Dawlat Waziri, told AFP Authentic Rams Hats , adding that the attack was over.
Officials said the men, armed with a rocket, two Kalashnikovs and at least one suicide vest, had attempted to breach an army battalion near the Marshal Fahim military academy, where high-ranking officers are trained.
An officer at the academy said he could hear an explosion and gunfire, while other witnesses said the first blasts and gunfire came around 5:00 am.
The gunmen did not enter the heavily fortified compound on the western outskirts of the city, an Afghan security source said. Security forces have swarmed into the area and blocked roads leading to it.
In October Authentic Rams T-Shirts , a Taliban suicide bomber killed 15 Afghan army trainees as they traveled home from the Marshal Fahim academy.
Militants including the Taliban and IS have stepped up their attacks on beleaguered Afghan troops and police in recent months, sapping morale already hit by desertions and corruption.
Afghan troops have taken what the UN describes as "shocking" casualties since international forces ended their combat role at the end of 2014, though troop casualty figures are no longer released.
Last Saturday a Taliban suicide attacker driving an explosives-packed ambulance blew it up in a crowded area of the capital, killing at least 103 people - mainly civilians and wounding 235 in one of the worst bombings in the city in recent years.

BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Two men and two women have spent 200 days in a simulated space lab in Beijing, setting a record for the longest stay in a self-contained "cabin."
The biomedicine students from Beihang University, the second group of volunteers to stay in Yuegong-1 (Lunar Palace 1) Authentic Rams Hoodie , completed the second phase of a 365-day on-ground experiment Friday.
The first group of volunteers stayed in the cabin for 60 days and re-entered the cabin Friday, replacing the second group, and starting the third and final phase of the experiment, which will last 105 days.
The experiment is designed to test a bioregenerative life support system (BLSS), in which animals, plants and microorganisms co-exist in a sealed environment, simulating a lunar base. The experiment also examines the physical and mental conditions of humans in such environment. Oxygen Customized Rams Jersey , water and food are recycled within the BLSS, creating an Earth-like environment.
A successful 105-day trial was conducted in 2014.
Liu Hong, chief designer of Yuegong-1, said the purpose of the new program was to test the stability of the BLSS when "astronauts" take turns living in the cabin.
"The second stage, during which three unexpected blackouts occurred, has challenged the system as well as the psychological status of the volunteers, but they withstood the test Cheap Rams Jersey ,"she said.
The 200-day stint broke the record set in the former Soviet Union, where three people stayed for 180 days in a similar closed ecosystem in the early 1970s.
The longest blackout, due to a malfunction of an electric switch in the lab, lasted a whole night in the "comprehensive cabin," the living quarters of the volunteers.
"Luckily, it was in the evening, and the volunteers simply went to bed Rams Sean Mannion Jersey , without being affected much," Liu recalled, adding psychological data will be analyzed as part of the research.
ISOLATED LIFE
The Yuegong-1 has a total area of only 150 square meters, consisting of two plant cabins and the comprehensive cabin. The volunteers grow fruit -- principally strawberries -- and vegetables.
Yellow meal worms, which are edible and contain high levels of protein and other nutrients, are raised in the cabin. They are ground and mixed with floor to make a bread-like substance or fried on an electric stove in an oil-water mixture.
"Except salt, seasonings and a small amount of pre-stored pork and chicken Rams Jamon Brown Jersey , everything in the cabin is regenerative," said Liu.
The volunteers have access to the Internet, play chess and darts, do yoga and ride exercise bikes.
Volunteer Wang Wei said that over the past 200 days, she had learned to make steamed bread, dumplings, buns and even mooncake Rams Rob Havenstein Jersey , a traditional snack for Mid-Autumn festival but one which is rarely made at home.
"I'm planning to cook the Spring Festival family banquet all by myself," Wang, 26, told Xinhua.
Wang and the other three had physical examinations on Friday and will stay in hospital for a week under observation
Wang hopes to graduate from her master's degree this year with a thesis on the effect of light on human physical and mental states.
In the cabin, they went through a six-week shading experiment, with no natural light.
"It was the toughest time for me," she said. "No sunshine and the pressure from my thesis made me fatigued and a little depressed."
Wang said chatting with her fellows helped her through her anxiety.
She missed many chances to find a job because of the 200-day isolation and has decided to continue studying for a doctorate.
"But the thing I want to do most right now is to eat some oranges. There were only strawberries inside Rams Pharoh Cooper Jersey ," she said.
PREPARING FOR MOON LIFE
Chief designer Liu said following the experiment, her team would
