Soldiers killed after helicopter crashes in Zabul in Afghanistan, the biggest loss of life of Nato troops since June

Six soldiers from the Nato mission fighting Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan have been killed in a helicopter crash on Tuesday.

Although Nato officials said it was not a suspected militant strike, the Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the deaths.

The incident was the single biggest loss of life for the Nato mission in Afghanistan since seven Georgian soldiers died when a suicide bomber blew up a truck loaded with explosives outside a base in Helmand province in June.

"Six International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service members died following an aircraft crash in southern Afghanistan today," an ISAF statement said, declining to give the nationalities of the victims.

"The cause of the crash is under investigation, however initial reporting indicates there was no enemy activity in the area at the time of the crash.
