KABUL, Afghanistan — Two International Security Assistance Force service members were killed in an improvised explosive device strike that occurred in eastern Afghanistan this morning.

"On this sad day, we continue with our mission as we remember the lives of our fallen soldiers. The true commitment and the determination of these fine soldiers are helping to make a difference in the lives of the people of Afghanistan" said Brig. Gen. Éric Tremblay, ISAF spokesperson.

"We remain resolute in meeting our obligation towards the citizens of Afghanistan and we will carry on fighting the enemies of this country to improve security and allow progress to take place for all Afghans."

It is ISAF policy not to release the nationality of any casualty prior to the relevant national authority doing so.
