KABUL, Dec 8 (Reuters) - An air strike by international military forces to the south of Kabul killed two Afghan soldiers and wounded five more, the Afghan Defence Ministry said on Wednesday.

"The Defence Ministry condemns this incident and a joint delegation has been created to investigate the cause and will announce its findings," the ministry said in a statement.

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said a team had been sent to investigate the incident, which happened on Tuesday, but declined to comment further.
