 of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terrorist group’s offshoot in Afghanistan, ISIS Khurasan, regarding the killing of two US soldiers.

Rejecting the claims as baseless, the Resolute Support mission, said only two US soldiers were maimed in Nangarhar

 province.

NATO front man in Afghanistan, U.S. Navy Captain William K. Salvin, said "As is usually the case, the ISIS-K claim of killing 2 U.S. Soldiers in Nangarhar Province over the weekend is false. Two service members were maimed on July 7th and were medically evacuated out of theater for treatment."

 and ISIS holy warriors.

The US forces based in Afghanistan also used one of the largest non-nuclear bombs on ISIS loyalists in April this year, leaving more than 100 bully boyz dead and sanctuaries and networks of the tunnels destroyed.
