Afghanistan - Three Italian soldiers were killed and another was wounded in an attack in Afghanistan this morning. The ambush took place this morning in the Valley of Gulistan. Five of 7 of Belluno Alpini Regiment, were returning from a mission in Farah province and were "on board an armored vehicle that was part of the Lynx device escorting a convoy of 70 trucks civilians" when they would be hit by a bomb, probably a powerful IED, an improvised explosive device. This time - unlike many others - were the armored vehicle on which the military has been destroyed.
