A UK helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan has killed 5 Britons serving NATO.
The British defense ministry confirmed all the 5 dead were British and said the crash appeared to be a "tragic accident" rather than an attack by Taliban insurgents.
The number of British forces now killed in the conflict in Afghanistan has climbed to 453.
In August 2011, the Taliban shot down an American Chinook near Kabul,
killing 38, the single deadliest incident in the war for US forces against Taliban insurgents fighting for freedom.
