BAGHDAD — The U.S. military said two of its soldiers in Iraq died when their vehicle rolled onto its side north of Baghdad. A third American soldier died in a road accident in neighboring Kuwait.

The two soldiers died Wednesday in Iraq’s Salahuddin province. The military said in a statement released Thursday that another soldier and an interpreter also were injured.

The military said the highway accident in Kuwait involved a single vehicle and that another soldier was injured.

Both crashes were under investigation.

The military said a fourth soldier has been killed during a gun battle in a Shiite militia stronghold in Baghdad.
