Two soldiers and a civilian with the NATO-led military alliance in Afghanistan died on Saturday in two separate attacks in the country’s east.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) in a statement said one soldier and “one ISAF civilian” were killed during a “direct fire attack.” Separately, another soldier was killed in a roadside bomb blast in the same region, according to allied troops.

The NATO troops did not give further details about the incident.

In May, 26 foreign soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, making it the deadliest month since the beginning of this year.
