KABUL, Afghanistan — The U.S. coalition says a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan has killed three coalition soldiers and an Afghan contractor.
The coalition on Tuesday did not release any other details of the attack, including the soldiers' nationalities, but the overwhelming majority of coalition soldiers in the east are American.
The three deaths bring to 208 the number of international soldiers killed in Afghanistan this year.
Last year a record 222 international soldiers died in Afghanistan.
Canada has lost 97 since the Afghan mission began in 2002.
