KANSAS CITY (AP) -- A 23-year-old soldier from suburban Kansas City has died of wounds suffered in Afghanistan.

The Kansas City Star reports that Pfc. Cale C. Miller, of Overland Park, Kan., died Thursday in Afghanistan when insurgent forces attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. He was in the Army's 2nd Infantry Division.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said he will issue an order to lower flags in Kansas to half-staff on the day of Miller's funeral.
