KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — NATO says that an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan has killed one of its service members.

Monday’s statement did not provide further details of the death that occurred a day earlier.

The Afghan insurgency has traditionally been fiercest in the country’s south and east, along the border with Pakistan. NATO and Afghan troops have been trying to wrest back control of the southern provinces from the Taliban since July, but attacks and roadside bombs are still daily occurrences.

The death brings the number of international service members killed this month to 50.
