Copenhagen - Two Danish soldiers injured Wednesday in Afghanistan were to be flown to Denmark for treatment, the Danish military high command in Copenhagen said Thursday.
One of the soldiers was 'seriously injured,' the statement said.
The military high command said the two soldiers were injured when their armoured vehicle was hit by a grenade when fighting Taliban forces near Gereshk, southern Afghanistan.
The soldiers were to be flown by a British military jet to the Rigshospitalet hospital in Copenhagen.
About 700 Danish soldiers are deployed in Afghanistan with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
