KABUL — A NATO service member was killed today in a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan, the alliance said.
The death comes a day after another service member died in a small-arms attack in the south. NATO did not identify the victims or their nationalities.
Eight members of the international force have been killed in the country so far this month.
NATO is gearing up for a military campaign this summer in the south. The U.S.-led operation will try to clear the southern city of Kandahar of Taliban fighters in what will be a critical test of the war.
Also today, hundreds of Afghans shouting “Death to Iran” gathered outside the Iranian Embassy in Kabul, saying Afghan refugees who live in the country face abuse.
About a million Afghan refugees live in Iran.
