One U.S. service member was killed and four others were wounded during a combat engagement on Monday in Afghanistan, according to a Tuesday release from U.S. Forces-Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Associated Press reported that Sen. Cory Booker said the Army identified the casualty as Mihail Golin, of Fort Lee, New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident happened in Achin, Nangarhar province, the release said. Two of the wounded service members were treated at a nearby medical treatment facility and are in stable condition, officials said. The other two have been returned to duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own,\u201d said USFOR-A commander Gen. John Nicholson. \u201cAt this very difficult time our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of our fallen and wounded brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The release did not identify which service the troops belong to. Names of those killed in action are not released until 24 hours after family has been notified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several service members have died in combat in Nangarhar over the past year, including two Special Forces soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
