Feb 18 (Reuters) - Eight U.S. military personnel were killed when their helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan on Sunday after reporting engine failure, the U.S.-led coalition said.

Here are the latest figures for foreign military deaths in Afghanistan since the Taliban government was toppled in 2001:

Britain 46

Canada 44

Spain 19
