On Sunday morning, a helicopter crashed in Afghanistan, killing five NATO service members and injuring five others. According to reports from Afghanistan’s capital officials, two Americans service members were among the five killed in the incident.
Sunday’s crash comes less than two weeks after six U.S. airmen died when their C-130 transport plane came down while taking off in Afghanistan. An Afghan security guard who witnessed Sunday’s crash told The Associated Press that the helicopter struck a monitoring balloon as it was landing. “It seemed like the cable was turned around the helicopter rotor,” the security guard, Najibullah, said. After the helicopter went down, all he could see was black smoke. With this incident and many occuring like it, remember to keep our armed forces and their families in your prayers and hearts.
