U.S. helicopter believed shot down in Afghanistan; 2 killed

June 6, 2012 -- Updated 1736 GMT (0136 HKT)

(CNN) -- The United States believes one of its armed helicopters was shot down over Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing both crew members on board, a U.S. military official said.

NATO's International Security Assistance Force issued a statement saying that two ISAF members died "following a helicopter crash in eastern Afghanistan today."

"It is likely that the helo today was brought down due to enemy small arms and RPG fire," the U.S. military official said.

The chopper was a U.S. Army OH-58 Kiowa Warrior reconnaissance helicopter. It went down over Ghazni province.
