in MIDLE EAST/PRESS RELEASE/REGIONS by

The commander of the NATO-led Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan General John Nicholson reaffirmed the strong support of the alliance to Afghanistan after a suicide attack claimed the life of a Romanian soldier. He said “The thoughts and prayers of the entire Resolute Support Mission are with the loved ones of our fallen soldier at this difficult time”. He also added “This loss only continues to strengthen our resolve and support to the Afghan government and its citizens as we work toward a secure and stable Afghanistan”. According to a statement by the alliance, two other Romanian soldiers were wounded in the attack when the vehicle-borne improvised explosive device targeted their patrol. The Taliban insurgents group claimed responsibility behind the attack amid increasing pressures on the group, specifically after the announcement of the new US strategy for Afghanistan.
