Kabul, Sept. 26 (Xinhua-ANI): Two soldiers with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) lost their lives as they came under militants' attack in Afghanistan's eastern region on Wednesday, the alliance confirmed in a statement released here.
"Two International Security Assistance Force service members died following an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan today," the statement added.
