ISIS loyalists have reportedly beheaded two men in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province for supporting the pro-government forces in their fight against the terror group.

The two men were reportedly executed in the restive Kot district yesterday, which comes amid operations conducted by the Afghan forces against the terror group, reports the Khaama Press.

Reports suggest that sympathizers of the terror group have started circulating the photographs of the brutal execution of the two men in social media.

The ISIS loyalists have also threatened people who back the Afghan government against its self-declared Caliphate of facing a similar punishment.
