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.

Local Khaama Press quoted the 201st Silab Corps of the Afghan National Army (ANA) forces in the East as saying that the incident took place in the vicinity of Marwara district late on Tuesday.

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.
