(FILES) In this photograph taken on November 20, 2008, US Army soldiers from 2-506 Infantry 101st Airborne Division and Afghan National Army soldiers take positions after racing off the back of a UH-47 Chinook helicopter during the launch of Operation Shir Pacha into the Derezda Valley in the rugged Spira mountains in Khost province, along the Afghan-Pakistan Border, directly across the border from Pakistan's lawless Waziristan region. A helicopter from the NATO-led foreign force in Afghanistan has crashed during an anti-Taliban operation, an Afghan official said August 6, 2011, adding there were foreign troop casualties. The helicopter came down late August 5 in a Taliban-infested district of the eastern province of Wardak, southwest of Afghan capital Kabul, said provincial spokesman Shahidullah Shahid. An eyewitness told AFP that the helicopter had crashed as it was trying to take off after landing on the roof of a Taliban commander's home during a firefight. AFP PHOTO/DAVID FURST/FILES

Pad vojnog helikoptera u Afganistanu odnio je živote 31 američkog i sedam afganistanskih vojnika u središnjoj pokrajini Maidan Vardaku, zapadno od Kabula. Riječ je o najgoroj nesreći ove vrste u deset godina rata u Afganistanu.

Nesreća se dogodila tijekom noći, a talibani tvrde kako su oni zapravo srušili letjelicu.

NATO nije naveo uzroke pada vojnog helikoptera, no agencija AFP navodi izjavu guvernera provincije Vardak koji kaže kako su talibani helikopter Chinook pogodili raketom nakon čega je potpuno uništen.
