Afghanistan

Security forces killed 25 Taliban fighters and detained four more in Kabul, Nangarhar, Baghlan, Kunduz, Balkh, Helmand, Zabul, Logar, Ghazni, and Farah. An ISAF helicopter crashed in the southwest; four US soldiers are thought to have died. NATO called on China and Russia to help fund Afghan security forces.
