It has not been a day since Finnish peacekeepers were attacked in Afghanistan with a roadside bomb. Two of them were seriously injured and one of them suffered a spinal fracture. Now eight troops of the U.S. Military are dead after being attacked in two different outposts.

On Saturday night in Nuristan which is close to the Pakistan border some fighters attacked the American soldiers from a village near the outposts. There is no certain information about the outposts still being intact and there is doubt about them being taken over by the attackers. The military remains silent about the state of the outposts.

There has been insecuritites like this before in Afghanistan back in 2008 when nine soldiers died in a similar attack.
