A soldier of the NATO-led ISAF coalition was killed in a blast in Afghanistan, the coalition forces confirmed Thursday.
"An International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service member died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan Wednesday," Xinhua quoted the coalition as stating.
However, it did not reveal the nationality of the victim under the ISAF policy.
More than 86,000 ISAF forces have been stationed in Afghanistan since 2010. The majority of them will leave the country by the end of 2014.
The latest casualty brings the number of foreign soldiers killed in Afghanistan to 147 this year.
