Bomb blasts killed two NATO soldiers and wounded several others in southern Afghanistan. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization said there were two separate attacks but gave no details and did not identify the casualties by nationality.
Government and allied forces have reported killing about 200 Taliban fighters in central and southern Afghanistan in recent weeks. The Taliban has acknowledged some losses, but said many of the dead were civilians, a charge officials deny.
