KABUL: A soldier with NATO-led forces in eastern Afghanistan was killed in a bomb blast, the alliance said Thursday.
“An International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service member was killed by an improvised explosive device in eastern Afghanistan yesterday,” the force said in a statement without giving further details.
NATO does not release the nationality of their casualties prior to notification of next of kin, leaving the job for their native countries.
ISAF numbers more than 58,000 troops from 42 countries. The force works alongside a US-led coalition that is estimated to number around 10,000 although the figure is not public.
