The international military coalition in Afghanistan says a man in an Afghan army uniform turned his weapon on his international trainers in the country’s east, killing three of them.

A coalition statement released few other details about Saturday’s insider attack, the latest in which infiltrators or disgruntled Afghan police or soldiers have killed international troops working with them.

The NATO-led coalition does not release the nationalities of casualties until their home countries announce them.
