KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The U.S. military said Saturday that a service member has been killed in Afghanistan,
while in a separate incident two Afghan soldiers died when their helicopter failed to land properly.

The two Afghan soldiers died Saturday when their helicopter made an “emergency landing”
in the southern Kandahar province due to a technical problem,
Defense Ministry spokesman Ghafor Ahmad Jawad said.

He said two other soldiers were wounded
when the helicopter caught fire after landing.
The Taliban claim to have shot the helicopter down.
