The convoy was attacked on Wednesday afternoon on the outskirts of Kandahar city, the NATO-led Resolute Support mission said in a statement. It noted that “the attack did cause casualties” without providing further details.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have the confirmed number,” a mission representative confirmed in a statement to RT, while not specifying the nationalities of the persons killed or injured.
“We do know that all of the wounded have arrived at a coalition medical facility and are receiving treatment.”
In the meantime, Kandahar police spokesman Zia Durrani told AFP that a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle laden with explosives into the convoy.
“At around noon a car bomb targeted a convoy of foreign forces in the Daman area of Kandahar,” he said.
The Taliban terrorist group, which has a heavy presence in the southern Afghan province, claimed the attack in a text message to the news agency. Local media also said the group announced it is behind the attack.
