Kabul: A roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan killed three Nato soldiers, the alliance said on Thursday.
The soldiers were in a vehicle when the improvised explosive device went off on Wednesday, Nato forces said.
This is the recent in a spate of attacks that have targeted Nato forces in Afghanistan.
On Monday, Taliban insurgents killed 10 French troops to the east of capital, the biggest single loss of foreign forces in Afghan combat since Taliban's overthrow in 2001.
Separately, 30 militants were killed by Afghan army commandos and US-led coalition in eastern Laghman province, the US military said in a statement on Thursday.
The militants were killed during an operation on Wednesday aimed at disrupting Taliban safe-havens and IED cells in the area, it said.
