KABUL, July 10 (Xinhua) Increasing Taliban-linked activities in the shape of roadside and suicide bombings left at least 24 people including five NATO soldiers dead in a single day on Saturday.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in a statement confirmed that five soldiers of the alliance have lost their lives in the restive southern and eastern Afghan provinces since early Saturday morning.
"One ISAF service member died as a result of small-arms fire, another died following an IED (Improvised Explosive Device) strike, and a third service member died following an insurgent attack, in eastern Afghanistan today," the statement said.
Two more ISAF service members died following separate IED strikes in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, the statement further said.
