Kabul, Aug 9 (IBNS) : At least two militants affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group were killed in an explosion in eastern Kunar province of Afghanistan.

The Silab Corps officials said the militants were busy planting an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) which went off prematurely, leaving both the militants dead.

The anti-government armed militant groups including the ISIS loyalists have not commented regarding the report so far.
