An Uzbek truck driver was killed and two others wounded after their convoy was attacked in an apparent ambush in south eastern Afghanistan.

The drivers had just completed a water delivery from Uzbekistan to the southeastern town of Khost when they were attacked by gunmen

The attack happened just south of the city of Gardez, shortly after the drivers began their long journey back to Uzbekistan which borders northern Afghanistan.
