A Chinook helicopter was shot down by the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan. The aircraft was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade and crashed.
A condolence statement from Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai stated 31 American special forces and 7 Afghan soldiers were killed. This is the deadliest incident for the United States and the coalition in the Afghan War.
NATO confirmed the crash but said it was still investigating the cause and conducting a recovery operation at the site.
Pray for the fallen and their families.
