Pentagon: 2 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan

HeadlineNov 03, 2016

The Pentagon says two U.S. soldiers have been killed in Kunduz, Afghanistan. U.S. soldiers have been backing the Afghan forces battling the Taliban, which took control of the city of Kunduz in October. Kunduz is also the site of the deadly U.S. bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital in October 2015 which killed 42 people, including patients and staff. This comes as the United Nations is a warning of a new wave of displacement in Afghanistan amid the ongoing violence. At least 1 million Afghans have been uprooted from their homes by the violence this year.
