By Xinhua,
Kabul : One soldier with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) died of injuries sustained in the exchanging fire with insurgents in southern Afghan province of Helmand, said an ISAF statement released here on Wednesday.
The ill-fated soldier sustained injuries when the ISAF team was on a patrol in the Kajaki district of Helmand and died on Tuesday, the statement said.
It is ISAF policy to not release the nationality of any casualty prior to the relevant national authority doing so.
Mostly British, Canadian and U.S. troops have been deployed in the southern Afghanistan under the flags of the NATO-led ISAF and the U.S.-led Coalition forces respectively for maintaining stability and helping in reconstruction.
Militancy and conflicts have claimed the lives of more than 2,300 people with over 700 civilians killed across the war-torn country this year.
