Violence continues to rage in Afghanistan, where at least 35 people were reported dead in nationwide attacks on Sunday. At least 29 Afghans, mostly civilians, died in roadside bombings and militant attacks across the country. Meanwhile, seven NATO troops were killed in separate attacks, including six U.S. soldiers who died in a roadside bombing in eastern Afghanistan. NATO spokesperson Günter Katz announced the deaths.

Günter Katz: “I can confirm that yesterday seven American soldiers have been killed in southern Afghanistan. Anything else is still due to investigation, and I cannot give you any further details on this incident for the time being. Yesterday was a tough day for Afghan civilians, coalition and Afghan forces. A number of people were killed or injured due to a number of roadside bombs and conflicts.”
