Thirty-one US special forces and seven Afghans died when the Taliban shot down their helicopter, officials say, the deadliest incident yet for foreign troops in a decade-long war.
All were killed during an anti-Taliban operation late on Friday when a rocket fired by the insurgents struck their Chinook helicopter in Wardak province, southwest of the capital Kabul, as they prepared to leave after a firefight.
The death toll was given in a statement from Afghan President Hamid Karzai's office on Saturday but was not immediately confirmed by the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
"The president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan expresses his sympathy and deep condolences to US President Barack Obama and the family of the victims," it said.
The Afghan defence ministry said the local troops who died were members of the country's special forces.
Twenty-five of the dead were US Navy SEALs, US television network ABC News reported. The Pentagon declined to comment on the cause or number of deaths.
