Kabul, Afghanistan : A blast struck a NATO patrol in southern Afghanistan, killing two British soldiers, a spokesman for the force said Monday.
The troops were airlifted to a military hospital after they were caught in the explosion during a routine patrol Sunday in the volatile southern part of the country where Taliban fighters are active, NATO said in a statement. Both died at the hospital of their injuries, the Associated Press reported.
Lt. Col. Simon Millar, a spokesman for the force, said both soldiers were British and that their families had been informed of their deaths.
