An International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) civilian contractor has been killed in a blast in southern Afghanistan, Isaf said late Sunday.
"An International Security Assistance Force-contracted civilian died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan today," Isaf said in a statement.
Isaf did not provide more details about the exact location of the incident or nationality of the contractor.
Mostly US and British troops are based in southern Afghanistan.
Improvised explosives are frequently used by insurgents to target security forces and Afghan government personnel.
No group including the Taliban has claimed responsibility for the blast.
