Two soldiers of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan were killed in attacks by insurgents in the country's east on Sunday.
They died in a roadside IED (improvised explosive device) explosion, ISAF said in a statement on Monday without disclosing their nationality, pending communication to the soldiers' families.
Majority of foreign troops deployed in eastern Afghanistan are from the United States.
Roadside bombings using IEDs have become a hallmark of Taliban strategy against NATO forces, who are scheduled to end their mission next year. IED attacks avoid direct confrontation with the troops and increases the casualties.
With this, ISAF casualties in Afghanistan this year rose to 131.
