Three German soldiers and their Afghan interpreter were slightly injured in an explosion while on patrol west of the northern Afghan city of Kunduz, according to a statement from the German military.
There were indications that the blast could have been a suicide bomb attack, but the exact cause has yet to be determined, the military spokesman told German press agency DPA.
The soldiers have already been discharged from hospital, the German military said in Afghanistan. But it remained unclear whether the incident was a targeted attack as it could also have been an anti-tank mine, sources added.
The attack follows a similar one in July in which three senior German police officers were killed when their vehicles were hit by a roadside bomb on the eastern outskirts of Kabul. In May, three Bundeswehr soldiers were killed and two others wounded when a bomb went off in a crowded bazaar in Kabul. Twenty-four German soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan since 2002
