DHAKA: An Afghan man wearing an Afghan army uniform shot at US soldiers in east Afghanistan, killing at least one serviceman on Sunday.

Local officials and the NATO-led coalition said, reports The Jerusalem Post.

The so-called ‘insider attack’ in eastern Paktika province is the fourth in less than a month and is likely to further strain already tense relations between coalition troops and their allies.

According to the report, Sunday’s incident was the tenth this year, and took the death toll of foreign personnel to 15.
