“ISAF is still assessing the circumstances that resulted in these deaths and recovery operations are currently underway,” the U.S. Embassy in Kabul said in a statement.
International Security helicopter crashed during a battle with the Taliban in Afghanistan, killing 30 U.S. soldiers, an interpreter and seven Afghans, the Afghan president said on Saturday, the deadliest single for foreign troops in 10 years of war.
The Taliban quickly claimed to have shot down the helicopter with a rocket-propelled grenade.
In Washington, a U.S. official said the helicopter was thought to have been shot down. The Pentagon has said the cause of the crash is being investigated.
