By Xinhua,
Kabul : Two soldiers of the NATO-led International Assistance Security Force (ISAF) were killed on Tuesday in two separate attacks by anti-government militants in eastern and southern Afghanistan, said the ISAF.
One ISAF serviceman died from wounds inflicted when the vehicle struck an explosive device planted on the roadside in eastern province of Nangarhar, said the ISAF in a statement.
Meanwhile, another ISAF soldier was killed during an engagement with insurgents in Sangin district of southern Helmand province.
The ISAF did not disclose the nationality of the victims under ISAF policy.
Attacks on international and Afghan troops have been on the rise during the past weeks, spreading from the south to the east where Taliban militants continue to demonstrate their strength with suicide and roadside bombings.
Escalating insurgency and violent incidents have left around 2,000 people dead since January this year in the war-torn country.
