(CNN) -- Five coalition service members died in southern Afghanistan on Monday, NATO's International Security Assistance Force said.
The alliance announced the deaths in a brief statement that didn't offer additional details. It is not unusual for ISAF to leave it to the relevant nations to provide more information about casualties involving their service members.
A U.S. defense department spokesman said early Tuesday morning he didn't have a comment about the incident.
The last time so many troops died in one incident in southern Afghanistan was in April when a helicopter crashed.
That incident occurred in Kandahar province and killed five British service members.
