KABUL — Three British soldiers have died in southern Afghanistan, officials announced Monday, raising Britain’s death toll in the conflict to 256 — breaking the number of Britons lost in the Falklands war of 1982.
Britain reached the grim milestone as British, American and Afghan forces are preparing for a major attack on Marjah, the biggest town in southern Afghanistan under Taliban control. Britain’s defense secretary has warned the British public to expect more casualties.
