A Taliban attack killed three American soldiers and a military dog in southern Afghanistan on Friday, officials said, in the latest sign of the insurgents' capability as the coalition winds down operations.
Nato's International Security Assistance Force will end its combat mission later this year, leaving the Afghan police and army to take on full responsibility for battling the resilient Taliban insurgency.
"Three ISAF service members and one ISAF canine died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan today," the Nato force said in a statement.
US defence officials confirmed they were Americans.
Military dogs are often used to sniff for explosives, though they have proved unpopular with Afghan civilians as they are seen as unclean by many Muslims.
