Two NATO soldiers were killed Monday as a helicopter crashed in eastern Afghanistan, the military alliance confirmed in a press release.

"Two International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) service members died following a helicopter crash in eastern Afghanistan today," the NATO-led ISAF said in the release.

The press release ruled out the insurgent's activities in the incident, saying, "The cause of the crash is under investigation, however initial reporting indicates there was no enemy activity in the area at the time of the crash."

The brief release did not disclose the nationalities of the victims under the ISAF policy and the exact place of the incident.

This is the second air crash incident in Afghanistan in a single day.

Earlier on Monday, another ISAF aircraft crashed in eastern Afghanistan, the ISAF confirmed in a statement, adding no fatalities were reported during the incident.

Meantime, Shahidullah Shahid, a spokesman for Wardak provincial administration said that NATO helicopter crashed in Nirkh district of eastern Wardak province on Monday afternoon.

But Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban purported spokesman, claimed that the outfit insurgents shot down the helicopter by a rocket in Nirkh district of Wardak province killing over a dozen U.S. soldiers.

Monday's double crash was the fourth air crash incident since the beginning of this year in the conflict-ridden Afghanistan.

Six U.S. service members were killed when two NATO helicopters went down in southern Helmand province in April and January while 12 Turkish soldiers with ISAF and four Afghan civilians on the ground lost their lives when a helicopter crashed in capital Kabul in February.
