( CNN ) -- Five foreign troops were killed Saturday in Afghanistan , bringing the number of NATO and U.S.-led coalition troop deaths in June to 32 -- more than in Iraq . A French NATO soldier stands guard in the Arghandab district of Afghanistan 's Kandahar province on Friday . Foreign troop deaths in the Afghan war have been exceeding those in the Iraq conflict in recent weeks , according to figures compiled by CNN . The trend reflects a surge in attacks and clashes during the warmer months in Afghanistan , where U.S.- and NATO-led troops have been fighting tenacious Taliban militants . It also points to a decrease in violence in Iraq . Four service members assigned to the U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan were killed Saturday by a roadside bomb and small-arms fire on a Task Force Phoenix convoy , said Lt. Col. Paul Fanning , spokesman for the U.S. military . The convoy was on a mission to train Afghan national police and soldiers when it was attacked , Fanning said . About three dozen nations have committed troops to that training effort , which includes more than 700 training teams and 8,000 trainers across Afghanistan . Two other troops were seriously wounded in the attack . Watch journalists break out their flak jackets » . Also early Saturday , a Polish soldier assigned to NATO 's International Security Assistance Force was killed and four others were wounded by a roadside bomb while on patrol in the Dila district of Afghanistan 's Paktika province , the assistance force said . Later Saturday , a NATO-led base and an Afghan military compound were attacked from across the border in Pakistan , the assistance force said . There were no reported casualties in the incident at 5:15 p.m . The Pakistan military was notified . At least 32 troops assigned to the U.S.-led coalition and NATO 's International Security Assistance Force have died in Afghanistan in June . At least 12 Americans , nine Britons , two Canadians , one Pole , a Romanian and a Hungarian have died in Afghanistan in June . The nationalities of six other fatalities have not been released . In comparison , 19 coalition troops have died in June so far in Iraq , comprising 18 Americans and one from the Republic of Georgia . There are no NATO troops in Iraq . Aggressive military campaigns against Sunni and Shiite militants have helped reduce casualties in Iraq , as have efforts to bring Sunni militants into U.S.-backed militias and the cease-fire of the mainstream part of Muqtada al-Sadr 's Mehdi army . During May , 23 coalition troops died in Afghanistan and 21 died in Iraq . The deaths last month in Afghanistan included 17 Americans , three Britons , a Canadian , a Lithuanian and an Estonian . In Iraq , there were 19 American and two Georgian deaths last month . The 19 American deaths in May represent the lowest monthly American total of the war . Overall , the Iraq conflict has been the deadlier war for foreign troops . More than 4,400 foreign troops have died in the Iraq war ; more than 800 have died in Afghanistan . In both wars , the vast majority of fatalities are Americans . `` It 's a difficult time right now , but it 's an extremely dangerous job , '' Fanning said after Saturday 's attacks in southern Afghanistan 's Kandahar province . `` This is a combat theater . This is why we 're here . The enemy 's doing their best to thwart the progress we 've made , but we 're determined not to let them succeed . '' Much of the fighting has occurred across southern Afghanistan , where Taliban attacks tend to increase as the weather warms up . Afghan and NATO forces last week pushed Taliban militants out of several villages in the Arghandab district of Kandahar province after a huge prison break on June 13 , Afghan President Hamid Karzai said . The Afghan Ministry of Defense said 56 Taliban fighters had been killed in the operation . Officials said they had no firm figures on the number wounded . There is fighting in other parts of the country as well . The U.S.-led coalition said its forces on Saturday conducted precision airstrikes in Khost province targeting a Taliban commander involved with roadside bombings , foreign fighter operations and weapons smuggling . Khost is in the eastern part of the country . In the northeastern province of Kapisa , a coalition operation led to the deaths of several militants and the detention of three others on Friday , the coalition said Saturday . NATO 's International Security Assistance Force on Saturday also reported the deaths of several militants in fighting Thursday in Helmand and Kandahar provinces in the south .
