US soldier killed in Taliban clashes
The battle occurred on Monday near a coalition base at Shkin, just a few miles from the Pakistan border, an area that has seen frequent skirmishes, spokesman Col. Rodney Davis said from Bagram Air Base, the US military headquarters in Afghanistan.
"One coalition service member died of wounds received in combat and two others were wounded as a result of fighting," Davis said in a statement. "Coalition forces killed two enemy fighters with direct small arms fire."
