Reports said that some of the attackers were suicide bombers, at least two of them dressed in women’s head-to-toe burkhas.
A separate attack took place in Jalalabad, near the border with Pakistan.
A spokesman for the governor said two militants were killed when they tried to gain access to the airport - a base for Afghan and foreign troops.
