Kabul - Three soldiers with NATO-led international military forces were killed in southern Afghanistan on Friday, the alliance said in a statement.
The soldiers were part of the more than 50,000-strong NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) that has been deployed to Afghanistan from 41 nations following the ouster of the Taliban regime in late 2001.
The statement did not disclose the nationalities of the dead soldiers, nor did it say how and exactly where in southern region they were killed. Most of the troops deployed to southern provinces are soldiers from the US, Canada, Britain, and the Netherlands.
