FORT CARSON, Colo. — The military says two Fort Carson soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan.

The Defense Department said Tuesday that 19-year-old Pfc. Devin J. Michel died Saturday and 24-year-old Sgt. Eduviges G. Wolf died Sunday.

The Army says Michel, of Stockton, Ill., died from wounds he sustained when his unit was attacked with an improvised bomb in Zhari province.

Wolf, of Hawthorne, Calif., died from wounds she sustained when insurgents attacked her vehicle with a rocket-propelled grenade in Kunar province.

They are the 16th and 17th Fort Carson soldiers killed this month. A Fort Carson spokeswoman says this is the deadliest single month for the post since the war in Afghanistan started in 2001 and Iraq was invaded in 2003.
