WASHINGTON: The Pentagon confirmed on Monday that a U.S. soldier was killed during combat operations in Afghanistan on Sunday.

The soldier was killed as a result of injuries sustained in combat operations in Kunduz Province, Afghanistan, the Pentagon said in a statement.

It added the incident was under investigation. Zabiullah Mujahid, a purported Taliban spokesman, claimed the attack on his twitter.

The latest U.S. casualty occurred as the United States and Taliban restarted earlier this month a stalled negotiation after a lull in Qatar.
