At-least Three New Zealand soldiers have been killed by a roadside bomb in central Afghanistan.
The three soldiers were traveling in a vehicle Sunday in Bamiyan province, a once comparatively stable part of the country that has seen a recent increase in violence.
On August 4, two New Zealand soldiers were killed and six others injured at the same place in the Bamyan province.

New Zealand has stationed a small group of 145 soldiers in Afghanistan since 2003, a contingent it plans to withdraw by the end of next year.
