A United States service member was killed and two others were injured in an insider attack in Afghanistan, informed the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO)-led coalition's Resolute Support mission.

According to a US official, the incident took place at an Afghanistan army base in Uruzgan Province in southern Afghanistan, reported the CNN.

The condition of the other two injured US service members is stable and they are being treated.

The said insider attack was supposedly carried out by a member of the Afghan security force.
