Two US soldiers have been killed in action in Afghanistan, according to NATO’s press office. The alliance did not elaborate on the cause of death or release the names of the servicemen.

Sixteen US soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan so far in 2019, 14 of them in combat and the other two in accidents aboard an American warship.

Taliban attacks have also spiked this year, inflicting major civilian casualties in bombings in Kabul and elsewhere. Earlier this month, the group claimed responsibility for a bombing that injured 100 people and killed 18.
