 Three Danish soldiers were killed and one wounded on Friday when their armoured vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb or mine in Helmand province in Afghanistan, the Danish Army Central Command said. Their vehicle was travelling north of the town of Gereshk in a supply column when it was struck, Reuters quoted the army as saying. The injured soldier has been evacuated to a field hospital. Two Danes were killed earlier this month in fighting. Denmark has about 700 combat troops in Afghanistan. Seventeen have died in combat so far and three others were killed while trying to dismantle a mine. |
