he German military says one of its soldiers has been killed and another one wounded in fighting with insurgents in northern Afghanistan.
It said Sunday the soldiers were accompanying an Afghan-led military operation in Baghlan province when they came under fire Saturday.
It says the troops called in air support but one soldier was fatally shot later when exploring the airstrike's damage.
The military says it assumes several insurgents were killed in the fighting, adding that the situation was still developing.
The NATO-led coalition forces in Kabul said late Saturday one international service member had been killed in the north but provided no details.
German troops are in charge of much of the country's north, which tends to be relatively peaceful.
Seven U.S. soldiers were killed in southern Afghanistan Saturday.
