2 German troopers hurt in Afghanistan

The incident occurred on Thursday when Taliban militants targeted the soldiers in Kundoz province.

However, the militants have claimed that eight German soldiers were killed during the attack. They said two vehicles belonging to the NATO forces were also destroyed.

According to the website icasualties.org, a total of 225 US-led troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan so far this year.

The high number of military casualties in Afghanistan has intensified opposition in the United States and other NATO member states to the US-led war in the violence-scarred country.

The US-led war in Afghanistan began in 2001. The offensive removed the Taliban from power, but insecurity continues to rise across Afghanistan, despite the presence of about 130,000 US-led troops.
