Seven NATO service members have been killed in southern Afghanistan.

NATO said in a statement that all seven died in a roadside bomb explosion Thursday. The coalition did not release further details.

Tens of thousands of U.S., NATO and Afghan forces have been working for months to rout the Taliban from their strongholds in the south. The Taliban have retaliated with targeted assassinations of Afghan officials and attacks on Afghan and coalition forces.
