of Iraq and Syria Khurasan (ISIS-K) were killed during the Arclight airstrikes conducted in eastern Nangarhar
The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country..
province of Afghanistan.

According to informed military sources, the ISIS-K leaders were killed in the past 24 hours in Achin, Pacher Agam, and Khogyani districts.

The sources further added that two of the leaders of ISIS Khurasan were killed in Khogyani district.

The anti-government armed Lions of Islam including ISIS sympathizers have not commented regarding the airstrikes so far.

Nangarhar is among the relatively calm provinces in East of Afghanistan but the anti-government armed elements are active in some of its remote districts and often attempt to carry out attacks against the government and security personnel.
