KABUL: The deaths of another four NATO troops in an accident in Afghanistan made June the deadliest single month for US-led foreign forces in the nearly nine-year conflict, according to a tally Thursday.
The four troops died as a result of a vehicle accident in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, the NATO-run International Security Assistance Force said in a statement that gave no further details.
The new deaths bring to 79 the number of foreign troops who have died as a result of the conflict in Afghanistan so far this month, according to a tally based on statistics on the independent website. The grim record eclipsed the previous most deadly month for NATO troops last August, when 77 soldiers were killed.
