Eight Canadian soldiers have been injured in Afghanistan after the armoured vehicle they were travelling in struck an improvised explosive device during a routine patrol Friday afternoon.

The soldiers were all airlifted to the Role 3 hospital at the Kandahar Airfield for treatment, according to Canadian Forces spokesman Maj. Jay Janzen.
The soldiers are all in good condition and are expected to make full recoveries.
Janzen said the soldiers have all notified their families of the incident.

The soldiers were on patrol in Kandahar's Arghandab District when the explosion occurred around 1 p.m. local time.
The region has been particularly volatile for coalition forces, as it's been the site of two battles with the Taliban in the last year.
Improvised explosive devices have killed eleven Canadian soldiers this year.
