Seven Canadian soldiers suffered minor injuries in two incidents Wednesday, both involving suspected Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
The incidents mark the latest in a string of roadside bomb attacks against Canadian soldiers.
The first incident Wednesday occurred at 12:05 p.m. local time in the Panjwaii district, about 35 kilometres southwest of Kandahar city.
The second incident took place at 2:45 p.m. local time in the same area, during the patrol operation called Teng Azem (Steadfast).
The soldiers were evacuated by chopper to hospital and six of the seven injured have since been released.
On Tuesday, Trooper Richard Renaud, of Alma, Que., was killed in southern Afghanistan when his Coyote armoured vehicle struck a roadside bomb. Another soldier was injured in the incident.
On Monday, another IED blast rocked Panjwaii district but resulted only in property damage.
Last weekend, four soldiers were injured southwest of Kandahar city when their vehicle hit a roadside bomb.
Since 2002, 78 Canadian military personnel have died in Afghanistan, along with a Canadian diplomat. Most of the deaths have been the result of IED attacks.
