On Sunday, a militant attack on NATO military forces left two foreign troops dead in the troubled south of Afghanistan, the western alliance said.

Further details regarding the soldiers’ nationalities or the exact location of the attack, which occurred on Sunday, were not provided by NATO which confirmed the deaths.

In another incident, four NATO troopers were also wounded in southern Afghanistan’s Uruzgan Province, while several Afghans were also injured in the attack, local authorities said.

Since the start of the year, more than 162 foreign soldiers, mostly Americans, have been killed in Afghanistan.  

More than 3,000 civilians were killed and 4,507 others wounded in war-related violence in 2011. /PRESSTV
