At least four militants were killed following a drone strike by NATO-led coalition security forces in eastern Kunar province.
According to local government officials, the airstrike was carried out late on Tuesday evening in Ghaziabad district.
Provincial police chief, Abdul Habib Syed Khel said two commanders of the anti-government armed militants were also among those killed in the raid.
The identities of those killed in the airstrike have not been ascertained so far.
The anti-government armed militant groups have not commented regarding the reports so far.
Kunar is among the volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed militants are actively operating in its various districts and frequently carry out insurgency activities.
Kunar is also considered to be a hotbed of insurgents both for the Afghan and Pakistani militants, as Kunar province has border with the tribal regions of Pakistan.
The foreign militants including fighters of the Pakistani Taliban group are usually crossing border into Afghanistan and launch attacks on check posts of the Afghan national security forces in Kunar.
This comes as at least five militants were killed and three others were injured following a drone strike in Manogi district earlier this week.
