U.S. Service Members Killed In Afghanistan
(Undated) — The Pentagon is confirming that a raid on an ISIS target in eastern Afghanistan has claimed the lives of two U.S service members. The operation occurred last night in Nangahar province, near an area where earlier this month the United States dropped a giant non-nuclear weapon dubbed the “mother of all bombs.” The identities of the dead military personnel are not yet being made public. Defense Secretary James Mattis traveled to Afghanistan earlier this week and has said the U.S. has “no illusions about the challenges associated with this mission.”
