In Afghanistan, two U.S. service members were killed in an operation today.

The NATO’s Resolute Support mission in a statement has confirmed killings of two US service members but not disclosed the area of the operation.

About 14,000 US service members are currently stationed in Afghanistan, with the primary duty of training, assisting advising the Afghan forces.

Meanwhile, a suicide bomber killed one person and injured four, all members of the same family, in an attack in Afghanistan’s southern province of Kandahar.

The explosion in the village of Chinar took place during celebrations of the New Year festival, Nowruz, with media saying the family were on their way to a party.
