KABUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. service members were killed and six wounded when an individual in an Afghan uniform opened
fire on them with a machine gun in eastern Afghanistan, the U.S. military and two senior Afghan officials said on Sunday.
The shootout on Saturday between Afghan and
American soldiers resulted in deaths on both sides but casualty details on the Afghan side were not shared.
The firefight broke after a combined U.S. and Afghan force completed a "key-leader engagement" at the administrative headquarters of Nangarhar province's Shirzad district, a spokesman for U.S. forces in
Afghanistan said.
