NATO soldiers on patrol in eastern Afghanistan Tuesday hit a roadside bomb that killed two of the troops and wounded one other.

The soldiers were conducting a routine patrol when they bomb went off in the Sharan district of Paktika province, said NATO's International Security Assistance Force.

ISAF did not provide the nationalities of the soldiers.

The latest casualties brings the number of foreign troops killed in Afghanistan to 21 so far this year, according to an AP tally of figures from ISAF and the U.S.-led coalition.

In 2007, insurgency-related violence killed more than 6,500 people, including 222 foreign troops. Last year was the deadliest yet since the U.S.-led invasion in 2001.
