June 15 (Reuters) - Suicide bombers attacked foreign troops in central and southern Afghanistan on Friday, killing five children and a Dutch soldier in a day of renewed bloodshed.

Another foreign soldier, belonging to a U.S.-led coalition force, also died in combat in eastern Paktika province on Friday.

Here are the latest figures for foreign military deaths in Afghanistan since the Taliban government was toppled in 2001:

NATO/U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 401

Britain 60

Canada 57

Spain 21

Germany 21

Other nations 43

TOTAL: 603

Last year's fighting was the bloodiest in Afghanistan since U.S.-led forces overthrew the Taliban in 2001 and violence is increasing this year. Fifty foreign soldiers have been killed in fighting so far this year.

More than 4,000 people were killed in fighting in 2006, a quarter of them civilians and about 170 of them foreign soldiers killed in fighting or in accidents while on patrol.
