KABUL — A NATO helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan on Thursday, killing seven international soldiers and four Afghans, the International Security Assistance Force said.

"The cause of the crash is under investigation," it added, without giving further details.

"The helicopter was destroyed and all the crew and soldiers inside the chopper were killed."
