of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group were killed in separate Arclight airstrikes in eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province of Afghanistan.

According to the security authorities, the Arclight airstrikes were conducted in different parts of the province, including Nazian and Haska Mina districts.

The officials further added that the loyalists of the terror group were targeted in the Arclight airstrikes on Saturday night.

At least 31 of the faceless myrmidons were killed in Haroon Baba area of Haska Mina district, the officials, said adding that 3 others were killed in a separate Arclight airstrike in Nazian district.

This comes as at least 9 loyalists of the terror group were killed in a similar Arclight airstrike in Achin district on Friday.

Nangarhar is among the relatively volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where both the Taliban holy warriors and faceless myrmidons loyal to ISIS terrorist group are actively operating.

Both the Afghan forces and the US forces in Afghanistan are conducting regular raids against the Taliban holy warriors and ISIS loyalist in the districts where they are conducting insurgency activities.

The US forces increased Arclight airstrikes against the Taliban holy warriors and ISIS loyalists earlier this year after the B.O. regime granted a broader role to the American forces.
