Civilians killed

Zemarai Bashary, the Afghan interior ministry spokesman, said two civilians were among the injured.

The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) confirmed the explosion had involved some of its soldiers and a spokeswoman said some suffered minor injuries.

The 37-nation Isaf does not give the nationalities of its casualties.

The Isaf airport is near Kabul’s main airport and in a busy area in the northeast of the city.

An Afghan airport official said civilian flights to and from the airport were continuing as normal.

Last week, a suicide bomb wounded three foreign troops and four Afghan civilians.

On August 15, three German security officers attached to the embassy were killed when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb.
