Three insurgents attempted to plant an IED in Deh Rawod district, Oruzgan province, approximately 200 km southwest of Kabul, along a well traveled road when it detonated, killing two of the insurgents. Local villagers reported an explosion to the ANSF, who discovered the dead and wounded.

Afghan National Security Forces and Coalition forces provided medical attention and transported the wounded insurgent to a nearby Coalition forces medical facility for treatment, but he subsequently died of his injuries.

No ANSF, Coalition forces or civilian casualties were reported.

"The ANSF showed their compassion and professionalism by providing treatment to a wounded enemy," said Col. Gregory Julian, U.S. Forces Afghanistan spokesperson.
