According to New Zealand Defense Minister Jonathan Coleman, At-least two New Zealand soldiers have been killed and six others injured in Afghanistan.
The New Zealanders came under fire while assisting Afghan security forces in a battle against Taliban Mujahideen near a village south of Do Abe in the northeast of Bamyan province on Saturday, Coleman said in a statement issued on Sunday, Reuters reported.
"The NZDF [New Zealand Defense Force] was responding to local security forces coming under attack and it developed into a serious incident," the statement added.
The injured were evacuated to a military hospital.
At-least Two members of the Afghan security forces were also killed in the incident.

I thought after 11 years Afghanistan would be secured. I guess the most technological advanced army in the world cannot defeat some guys in their pajamas.

R.I.P
Just want to correct you New Zealand is not part of NATO.
NATO means North Atlantic Treaty Organization. New Zealand is not any where near the north Atlantic ocean.
