KABUL (AP) — NATO forces in Afghanistan say two international service members have been reported missing in the west of the country.

NATO forces headquarters issued a statement Friday saying the two were reported missing on Wednesday while on a routine resupply mission. It did not identify their nationality or say which province they had been in when they went missing. It said exhaustive search and rescue operations are being carried out to locate them, and their families have been notified.

The statement says no further information will be released while the rescue operation continues and the incident is investigated.
