Four Norwegian soldiers in Afghanistan have been killed in a roadside bomb attack on their vehicle.

四名驻阿富汗的挪威士兵遭受路边炸弹袭击致死。

The Norwegian military said they were killed while on a mission in Faryab province, in the north of the country.

Sunday's deaths mean nine Norwegian soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan.

Norway has a force of about 500 soldiers in Afghanistan, deployed1（部署，展开） in Kabul and the north, as part of the Nato-led coalition2.

"They were in their armoured vehicle when a bomb exploded on the side of the road," military spokeswoman Heidi Langvik Hansen told AFP news agency.

The deaths are the highest number of Norwegian troops killed in a single incident in Afghanistan, the defence ministry3 said.

June has been one of the worst months for Nato casualties（人员伤亡） in the nine-year war against Taliban insurgents4.

Nato forces are attempting to bolster5（支持，支撑） security in the country to defend President Hamid Karzai's government in Kabul, but are facing stiff resistance from insurgents（叛乱分子） in many parts of the country, especially the south.

The Taliban were overthrown6（推翻，打倒） by US-led forces in 2001.
