An Estonian soldier was killed yesterday while on foot patrol in Helmand province, marking Estonia’s seventh fatality in the current Afghanistan conflict. Stars and Stripes has the details.
As noted in an earlier post, with 10 percent of its active troops on the ground in Afghanistan, Estonia is the largest per capita contributor to the coalition effort in that country. Helmand province, where the Estonian soldiers are serving, is one of the most volatile regions of the country.
