Dozens of Taliban killed in US airstrike ... after a deadly Taleban attack on French troops in the country.
The soldiers died in Ghazni province, in the centre of Afghanistan, coalition officials said, an area patrolled by Polish forces.
Elsewhere, there were unconfirmed reports that coalition troops killed 30 militants around the capital, Kabul.
This week has seen outbreaks of deadly violence around Afghanistan.
Earlier this week 10 French soldiers died and 21 were injured in a Taleban ambush, prompting President Nicolas Sarkozy to make a visit to the country to meet troops.
And in the east of the country a wave of suicide bombers attacked a US military base in the province of Khost, sparking a major battle.
Mr Sarkozy visited his country's forces on Wednesday, insisting that the incident - one of the most deadly single attacks on coalition soldiers in years - would not deter Paris from its commitment to the country.
Now back in Paris, the president will lead tributes to the soldiers in a ceremony later on Thursday.
