KABUL -- A soldier of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) who sustained injuries in an explosion in south Afghanistan died, a press release of the alliance issued Saturday said.

"An ISAF soldier died Friday from injuries sustained in an explosion during a patrol in southern Afghanistan," the press release added.  

However, it did not disclose the date and the exact place of the incident where he faced the fatality.

In the press release the multinational force also did not disclose the nationality of the soldiers, adding ISAF does not release the casualty's nationality prior to the relevant national authority doing so.

Conflicts and Taliban-related violence have left more than 300 people dead, including Afghan and NATO troops as well as civilians, since the beginning of this year in Afghanistan.
