Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for Nangarhar governor, said that the incident happened late yesterday in a part of Achin district. He added that the Afghan soldier was killed in the incident. “The cause of the shooting is not clear. An investigation has already begun,” he said. A Pentagon statement confirmed that three US soldiers had been killed in eastern Afghanistan and one wounded soldier had been evacuated for medical treatment. The statement provided no further details of the incident but said it was under investigation. Meanwhile Zabiullah Mujahid, a so-called Taleban spokesman, said that the shooter was a member of the militant group and had killed four Americans and wounded several more.
