Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The US coalition says a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan has killed three coalition soldiers and an Afghan contractor.
The coalition did not release any other details of the attack, including the soldiers' nationalities. However, the overwhelming majority of coalition soldiers in the east are American.
The three deaths bring to 208 the number of international soldiers killed in Afghanistan this year. Last year, 222 international soldiers died in Afghanistan.
