Four soldiers from the US-led coalition and an Afghan civilian were killed on Tuesday when a bomb hit their vehicle in the country's dangerous south, the force said.
The nationalities of the soldiers were not released. The US-majority coalition leaves such announcements to home nations.
"Four coalition members were killed today in southern Afghanistan when their vehicle struck an improvised explosive device," a statement said. "An Afghan civilian working with the coalition forces was also killed in the incident."
Such improvised bombs are often planted by Taliban militants, who are waging an insurgency against the US-backed government.
