The agency said Noman as the mastermind of a Monday attack on an NDS base in Maidan Wardak province, west of Kabul, in which the NDS said 36 people were killed and 58 wounded. Other officials said the casualty toll was higher.
"Noman, along with seven others, was targeted after being identified by the NDS forces in an operative task," the security agency said in a statement.
"NDS will follow the terrorist group and kill them all."
The Taliban, in a statement, denied that the commander had been killed.
The insurgent attack in Maidan Wardak was the latest to inflict heavy casualties on government forces and underlined the heavy pressure they are facing as increasingly confident Taliban fighters step up violence, even as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict are underway.
It was not immediately clear if the air strike that killed the militants was supported by US forces. The violence this week came as leaders of the hardline Islamist group met US officials for talks to try to agree on a way to end the 17-year war.
