KABUL -- NATO said two of its soldiers were killed in southern Afghanistan on Saturday after militants ambushed the soldiers with rocket propelled grenades and gunfire.


Three soldiers were also wounded in the battle in Kandahar province Saturday afternoon, NATO said in a statement. The nationalities of the soldiers were not immediately released.

Again, another sad day for NATO soldiers. My thoughts, prayers and condolances to the family, loved ones and comrades of these latest fallen heroes.

Topic name modified to reflect recent CBC announcement of Canadian nationality.

My condolances once again. We will remember them.
 
Thoughts and prayers for the families, friends and loved ones.  RIP troops.

Two Canadian soldiers were killed in southern Afghanistan on Saturday after militants ambushed them with rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire.

Three soldiers were also wounded in the battle in Kandahar province Saturday afternoon, NATO said in a statement. The soldiers' identities were not released. The deaths of the soldiers brings the number of military fatalities in Afghanistan to 42.

Canada has more than 2,000 troops in the Kandahar area who are working with NATO to fight Taliban forces.

Taliban militants have been stepping up attacks in the country's south in recent months, particularly in Kandahar and Helmand provinces.

On Friday, in Kandahar city, a suicide bomber rammed an explosives-packed van into a NATO military patrol on a busy commercial street, firing deadly shrapnel at nearby storeowners and shoppers. One NATO soldier and eight Afghan civilians were killed.

 
My heart goes out to the family and friends of the fallen. Another sad day for Canada.  :cdn: May they both rest in peace, as heroes should.
 
Condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of the fallen,
Speedy recovery to those injured.
