Another Georgian serviceman was killed in Afghanistan and two others were injured.

This is the seventh casualty for the Georgian military forces in Afghanistan.
The Georgian parliament has recently approved the president's appeal to send an extra 11 gunners to Afghanistan to train Afghan servicemen. The president said recently the mission in Afghanistan is a complex task and there are many human losses, but Georgia will not opt against taking part in the mission.
In total, 955 Georgian servicemen serve in Afghanistan; 700 serve under U.S. command and 200 under French command.
