KABUL (Pajhwok): The Ministry of Defense (MoD) on Sunday confirmed two US and one Afghan army soldiers were killed and nine others including six Americans injured in last night’s insider attack in the Sherzad district of eastern Nangarhar province.
A MoD statement added: “As a result, unfortunately, one brave ANA member was martyred and three brave members injured; and two brave Resolute Support members lost their lives and six brave members were injured.”
A high level MoD delegation led by Chief of Army Staff Bismillah Waziri is investigating the incident together with the US team in Nangarhar, the statement read.
“Incidents such as this fail to have negative effects on the friendship and spirit of cooperation and between the ANDSF and US Military forces. We will continue our fight against terrorism together.”
The leadership of the Ministry of Defense extended condolences to the families and friends of all the martyred force members and prayed for quick recovery of the injured forces.
