4 soldiers killed in attacks in Afghanistan

Up to four Afghan soldiers had been killed in separate attacks since early Sunday, the Defense Ministry said on Monday.

"Four Afghan National Army (ANA) personnel were martyred in separate enemy's heavy weapons firing and landmine explosions over the past 24 hours," the ministry said in a statement.
