KABUL, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Six Afghan soldiers lost their lives as the anti-government militants ambushed a military convoy in western Farah province, 695 km west of Kabul on Sunday, the Defense Ministry said in a statement released here.

"Six soldiers with the National Army were martyred as the enemies ambushed their convoy in Balablok district of Farah province today," the statement confirmed.

However, it did not say if there were any casualties on the insurgents.

Balablok has been regarded as a Taliban hotbed as the anti- government insurgents occasionally target government interests there.
