WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two U.S. special forces soldiers were killed and another wounded Saturday when their four vehicle patrol was attacked in southern Afghanistan, U.S. military officials said.

The soldiers were ambushed in the vicinity of Geresk, an area known to be friendly to the Taliban, the officials said.

The convoy came under fire from unknown assailants using small arms, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades.

It happened around 4 p.m. local time.
