KABUL, Nov 6 (Reuters) - More than 25 NATO and Afghan troops were wounded during a search for two missing U.S. soldiers, the NATO-led force said on Friday.

The force gave no further details about the circumstances of the incident. The chief of police in Badghis province in western Afghanistan, Abdul Jabar, said NATO aircraft had struck their own troops who were searching for the two missing soldiers. (Reporting by Peter Graff, editing by Tim Pearce)
