2 US troops killed by roadside bomb in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan — Two US service members are killed and two others injured when their vehicle is hit by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, the US military says.
In keeping with defense department rules, the US military does not identify the service members.
The Taliban immediately take responsibility for the attack. A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yusouf Ahmadi, says it occurred in the southern Kandahar province.
More than 2,400 US service members have been killed in Afghanistan. Last year was the deadliest for US service members since 2014, with 23 American troops killed, even as Washington engaged in peace talks with the Taliban.
