William Salvin, a spokesperson for Operation Resolute Support, the train, advise and assist mission in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Details of the incident are not known.

But Taliban statements concerning American fatalities in the region are typically propaganda, and Military Times could not verify the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salvin pushed back on those claims, calling them \u201cfalse.\u201d There were \u201cno U.S. casualties or coalition casualties anywhere in theater since the one U.S. WIA [ wounded in action]
