One NATO soldier was killed and six personnel - including five soldiers and an interpreter - were wounded in the attack, the coalition said.

"The patrol was conducting a partnered mission with the Afghan National Army when a personnel-borne IED (improvised explosive device) detonated in Qarabagh district in Kabul province," NATO-led Resolute Support said in a statement.
