A Ukrainian soldier was killed Sunday in a land mine explosion southeast of Baghdad, a spokesman for the occupation forces said.
The explosion took place in the area of Suwayrah, some 40 kilometers south of Baghdad, in the Ukrainian troops' area of responsibility.
Meanwhile, in southern Iraq, a Dutch soldier was killed and five seriously injured on Saturday evening in a shooting incident that probably began with an attack on a military vehicle in Ar Rumaythah, located north of Samawa, Reuters cited the Dutch defense ministry as saying. (Albawaba.com)
