Kabul, Suara Indonesia News - A NATO soldier was killed Thursday when an explosion struck his patrol in Afghanistan, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said.
The force did not release the nationality of the trooper and also did not provide comprehensive details of the location where the incident took place as a matter of policy.
"An ISAF soldier died in southern Afghanistan when an explosion from an unknown source struck a patrol," a statement was quoted by AFP as saying.
The latest death took to 192 the number of international soldiers killed in Afghanistan this year. On Wednesday, three Canadian soldiers were killed and five wounded in an insurgent attack on their armoured vehicle in southern Kandahar province.
There are about 70,000 international troops in Afghanistan, most of them deployed under NATO to help Kabul fight a Taliban-led insurgency.(RED)
