 A Danish soldier was injured Monday in the restive Helmand province in Afghanistan, the Danish Army Operational Command said Monday. The soldier was flown by helicopter to a field hospital at Camp Bastion for treatment, the statement said. Details of the soldier's injuries were not disclosed, but he was apparently injured during manoeuvers in the Upper Geresk Valley. Last month two Danish soldiers were killed in the same region during an ongoing offensive against Taliban forces. Denmark was by November due to have 560 troops in Afghanistan, mainly in Helmand. |
