At least five NATO soldiers and three Afghan Police Officers have been killed in gun and bomb attacks in southern Afghanistan. Three civilians are also reported to have been killed in the attacks.
The deaths bring NATO casualties in Afghanistan this year to over 640 troops.
The attacks occur as Taliban forces increase their offensive before the harsh Afghan winter, which usually results in much reduced activity.
In a seperate attack, twelve NATO oil tankers were destroyed in the Behsud district. There were no reported casualties.
NATO forces in Jalalabad have claimed to have repelled a Taliban attack yesterday, killing six fighters.
