One US service member has died as a result of wounds sustained during operations in Logar province, Saturday afternoon, Resolute Support mission confirmed in a statement.

"On behalf of US Forces – Afghanistan, we offer our deepest condolences to the family of our fallen brother,” said General John Nicholson, commander, US Forces – Afghanistan. 

"Despite this tragic event, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the Afghan people and to support them in our mutual fight against terrorism.”

No further details were released regarding the circumstances that lead to the service member’s death. 

However, it comes just a week after another US service member died in the same province from wounds sustained during a helicopter crash on October 27. 

Resolute Support said at the time the crash had not been the result of enemy action and that they had full accountability of all personnel. 

Six other US crew members were injured in the crash, Resolute Support said in a statement.
