Two foreign soldiers and two civilians were killed in a car accident in Afghanistan's southern Kandahar province on Sunday, provincial officials said.
The accident occurred on Kandahar Airport Ave when a Nato supply truck hit a military vehicle, killing two foreign soldiers and two Afghan drivers, provincial spokesman Jawid Faisal said.
The International Security Assistance Force confirmed the deaths.
Separately, an Isaf helicopter made a forced landing in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, Isaf said in a statement.
Initial reports indicate that there was no enemy activity in the area and all crew members were recovered, the statement said.
It came only a day after Australia's Department of Defence said one of its CH-47 Chinook helicopters was damaged in a hard landing during combat support operations in Kandahar province on Friday.
The incident occurred at patrol base in Kandahar and one of the crew "received a minor injury", it said.
He will return to duty in the coming days, Defence said.
