Two NATO soldiers have been killed by insurgents in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan, the alliance has said.
It did not give the nationalities of the soldiers or the circumstances in which they died.
Foreign troop casualties have mounted in Afghanistan this summer with 43 killed in August, a higher combat toll than in any other month since the US-led invasion in 2001.
Meanwhile a suicide bomb attack by a fake beggar inside a regional prosecutor's office killed at least five people, according to officials.
The suicide bomber penetrated the prosecutor's office Saturday and detonated explosives.
The attack occurred in Zaranj, capital of the southwestern province of Nimroz, said police Chief Mohammad Ayub Badakhshi.
The bomber entered the compound pretending to be a beggar, according to Ghulam Dastagir Azad, the provincial governor.
He said that, elsewhere in Nimroz, Taliban militants attacked a police checkpoint, killing two police.
Seven Taliban fighters also were killed in the exchange.
