The terror strike on Kabul Airport has ended with Afghan security forces killing all four militants involved in the attack.
The militant attack on the airport lasted for about four hours, and has been described as one of the most audacious assaults on the facility in recent times.
Police said the attackers used automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades during their assault from the northern part of the airport complex.
There were no casualties among the Afghan security forces. So far, two RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade), one machine gun and two AK-47s have been recovered.
The airport is home to a major operational base for NATO-led forces that have been fighting Taliban and other insurgents for 12 years and is bristling with soldiers and police, guard towers and several lines of security checkpoints.
No one has claimed responsibility for Thursday's attack as yet.
