LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan Three U.
S.
troops were wounded on Sunday after an Afghan soldier opened fire on them at a base in the southern province of Helmand, the NATO-led Resolute Support mission said.
The U.
S.
said in January that about 300 Marines would be sent to Helmand to assist Afghan forces battling the Islamist insurgents in intelligence and logistics matters.
The soldiers are receiving medical care, the NATO-led training and assistance mission said on Twitter.
Last May two Romanian soldiers were killed and a third wounded after two members of a local Afghan police unit they were training shot them.
A spokesman for the Afghan military in the south of the country said the Afghan special forces soldier was shot dead after firing at the Americans at Camp Shorab air base at around 3 p.
m.
local time.
