At least three American soldiers were wounded in an explosion in eastern Nangarhar province of Afghanistan, Khaama Press reported.

The NATO-led Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan said “A US mine-resistant vehicle struck an IED near Jalalabad on 13 Mar. 3 US soldiers received minor injuries and are receiving treatment.”

The anti-government armed militant groups frequently use Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as the weapon of their choice to target the Afghan and foreign forces based in Afghanistan.

However, the Afghan officials are saying in majority of such incidents the ordinary civilians are targeted.
