Afghan government forces and Taliban insurgents also suffered casualties in this, but the Pajhwok News report did not publish the figures as there was no official confirmation from either side.
While the militants are yet to capture any of the country's 34 provincial capitals, they are pressuring about half of them, said Milley.
Afghanistan Army Chief General Wali Mohammad Ahmadzai will be in India from July 27 to July 29 during which he is going to meet top dignitaries here, including National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.
Among the killed militants were three Taliban's divisional commanders, said the statement.
A huge quantity of arms and ammunition were also destroyed during air raids.
No group has claimed responsibility for the terror attack.
The blast injured three persons in Police District 4 of Jalalabad city, the official said on condition of anonymity, the Xinhua news agency reported.
The statement didn't say if there were any casualties on the side of the Afghan security forces.
Nangarhar, a stronghold of the Taliban and Islamic State terror group, is rich in plains and is one of the most important areas for agriculture in Afghanistan.
