One soldier of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was killed and another one was injured by roadside bombing in eastern Afghan province of Paktia province on Saturday, said an ISAF statement.
"An ISAF routine patrol hit an improvised explosive device in Waza Khwa district of Paktia province," the statement said.
Two ISAF soldiers were wounded and one of the two soldiers died of wounds sustained from the explosion, it added.
In accordance with ISAF policy, ISAF does not release the casualty's nationality prior to the relevant national authority doing so.
Militancy-related violence had left more than 6,000 people dead in 2007 and the Taliban militants have vowed to intensity their attacks this year.
