KABUL, Afghanistan — A roadside bomb killed a NATO soldier and wounded four others in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, while a Taliban ambush left eight Afghan security personnel dead, officials said.
The NATO soldiers were patrolling in the country’s south when an explosion ripped through their vehicle, NATO said in a statement.
NATO did not identify the nationalities of the dead and wounded soldiers or the exact location of the blast. Militants regularly attack foreign and Afghan troops with roadside bombs in that part of the country.
In central Wardak province, meanwhile, Taliban militants fired rocket-propelled grenades from their vehicles at a convoy led by private security guards Saturday, killing six guards and two police officers, said Wardak police chief Gen. Zafaruddin, who goes by one name.
