Continued attacks killed 5 US troops in Afghanistan
Monday night’s crash brought the total number of US troops killed that day to seven, making it the deadliest day for US forces so far this year. Two US special operations forces were gunned down hours earlier in an insider attack by an Afghan policeman in eastern Afghanistan.
A helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan has killed five American service members, officials said on Tuesday.
A US official said all five of the dead were American. The official said the helicopter went down outside Kandahar city, the capital of Kandahar province.
The NATO military coalition said in a statement that “initial reports” showed no enemy activity in the area at the time. The cause of the crash is under investigation, the statement said.
