Three soldiers from the Isaf force have been killed in a home-made bomb explosion in western Afghanistan, the Nato-led force in the country says.
The International Security Assistance Force said on Thursday the attack occurred in western Afghanistan but did not immediately provide further details on the nationalities of the casualties or on the attacks.
Troops from the US, Italy, Spain and Lithuania are based in western Afghanistan.
Thursday's deaths brought to 584 the number of foreign soldiers killed this year, eclipsing the previous record of 521 in 2009. The AFP tally is based on a count by the independent website icasualties.org.
At least 35 foreign soldiers have died in Afghanistan this month alone. Six US soldiers were killed in attacks on Wednesday and four Italian soldiers in a single bombing in western Afghanistan last week.
The surge in military deaths has followed the deployment of about 40,000 extra US and Nato troops under a White House strategy.
