A U.S. paratrooper and a British soldier died in attacks Saturday.
The paratrooper was killed when his patrol came under fire in Khost province, a U.S. military statement said.
Violence over the last week killed 23 people, including 14 suspected militants and two worshipers dragged from a mosque and shot.
The bloodshed came as Afghan officials prepared to announce final results from last month’s historic legislative elections.
Election organizers plan to release the final list of newly elected legislators in the next few days, said Aleem Siddique, a spokesman for the election commission. The announcement has been delayed by widespread fraud that undermined the polls’ legitimacy.
