A U.S. servicemember died Tuesday from injuries sustained in clashes with insurgents Afghans during a joint operation with Afghan forces in southern Afghanistan. Two Americans were injured.


The Americans were part of an "advisory team" operating with Afghan special forces in Helmand province, a poppy-growing region and former Taliban stronghold. Fighting has intensified in the region in recent weeks.

An American medical evacuation helicopter was damaged when a rotor hit a wall during the operation and was grounded. A second helicopter was waved off by ground forces before it could land, the Pentagon said.
