A soldier with the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was killed in eastern Afghanistan, bringing the military alliance's casualties to two on a single day Friday, the ISAF said, Xinhua reported.
"An International Security Assistance Force servicemember died following an insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan today," ISAF said in a brief statement.
Another ISAF soldier was killed in an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) attack in Afghanistan's restive southern region earlier the day, ISAF confirmed in a separate statement.
