Two more US-led troops have been killed in Afghanistan as the death toll of foreign forces continues to rise in the war-torn country.
The Western military alliance said on Friday that the troops were killed by a roadside bomb in the east of the country.
NATO did not reveal the nationality of the soldiers or the exact location of the incident.
The deaths bring the number of foreign fatalities to at least 328 so far this year.
Over 2,609 US-led foreign troops have been killed in Afghanistan since the invasion of the country in 2001.
The security situation remains fragile in Afghanistan despite the presence of about 150,000 US-led foreign forces.
The increasing number of troop casualties in Afghanistan has caused widespread anger in the US and other NATO member states, undermining public support for the Afghan war.
