KABUL — Two NATO soldiers are missing in western Afghanistan after a routine resupply mission, the alliance said Friday, but officials indicated it was unlikely they had been taken captive.

Local police said the two were Americans who were swept away by a river in the western province of Badghis.

The two went missing on Wednesday, NATO forces headquarters in Afghanistan said in a statement. It did not specify their nationality or which province they had been in, or provide any details of the resupply mission.

Military officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to command policy, indicated that they did not suspect the case was similar to that of an American soldier who was captured by insurgents in eastern Afghanistan on June 30.
