These daily logs detail some of the many dead and wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, both military and civilian, of all nationalities. We are not aware of any source that authoritatively and consistently compiles or counts these kinds of reports.

Note: These news reports overlap in some cases. We've done our best to count a casualty only once. Where vague reports suggest "many" "some" or "several" we count a minimum of 2. The following news links were compiled by Evan D.

#1: NATO-led forces killed more than 20 Taliban militants in southern Afghanistan on Sunday after launching a special offensive to drive out insurgents. Operation Medusa came into affect in the southern Kandahar province on Saturday when Afghan and NATO-led troops focused on a militant stronghold in the Panjwayi area. An International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) spokesman said special emphasis was placed on “driving out the insurgents” so Afghans in the area could “return to their homes and orchards to sustain their livelihood”. The operation is ongoing and will continue for some time.	20
#2: There are reports of casualties among NATO forces on the ground in a volatile district of southern Afghanistan Sunday. International Security Assistance Force spokesman Major Scott Lundy says the operation in the Panjwayi district includes Canadian, British and American troops. He confirmed there have been casualties, but would not say how many were killed, or what their nationalities are.

#4: Meanwhile, Afghan and NATO troops, including most of the combat units among Canada's 2,200 soldiers in Afghanistan, were set up on strategic high ground in Panjwaii by last night. They launched fierce artillery and aerial bombardments on the Arghandab River valley, one of the few green ribbons of land in southern Afghanistan. Canadians repelled one Taliban ambush but found little other resistance and have established control of the Panjwaii district centre, according to Lt.-Col. Omer Lavoie, the commander of Canadian troops on the ground. "We're quite happy that we came in with no casualties and got up in our positions really quickly," Lavoie said as artillery exploded behind him.
#5: Afghan defence officials say 89 suspected Taliban militants and an uncertain number of civilians are dead after two days of fighting in the region. A NATO statement said forces had gained ground during the operation, which was continuing Sunday.	(see below)
