A NATO statement Wednesday said an explosion killed a soldier and civilian interpreter on patrol in eastern Ghazni province. Two NATO soldiers were wounded, one of whom later died at a military hospital.

The statement gave no details on the victims’ nationalities or the nature of the explosion, the Associated Press reported.

In neighboring Zabul province, deputy governor Gulab Shah Alikhel says air strikes and a three-hour gunbattle Tuesday killed an Afghan army soldier and 14 insurgents.

Afghan security forces seized insurgents’ ammunition and night-vision goggles.
