“Eight U.S. service members and an Afghan civilian working with the ISAF were killed today in multiple complex IED attacks in southern Afghanistan,” the statement said.

It added “several service members were wounded in these incidents and were transported to a regional medical facility for treatment.”

Nearly 20 U.S. soldiers have been killed in two straight days in riot Afghanistan as three U.S. helicopters went down Monday, leaving 11 troopers and three civilians dead, all Americans.

Conflicts and violence have claimed at least 436 international troops so far this year in war-torn Afghanistan.
