Three persons including a NATO-led Resolute Support soldier were killed and six injured when a suicide bombing struck a joint Afghan-Coalition patrol near here, the coalition forces said on Friday.

The attack on Thursday evening came when a man detonated his suicide jacket near a police station near Kabul, Xinhua news agency reported.

The coalition said six persons, including five foreign soldiers and one translator, were wounded, and two civilians also died in the blast.

All those injured are in stable condition, it said.

No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.
