At least 30 people have suffered injuries in an explosion near Bagram airbase on Wednesday here.

The injured were rushed to a hospital for the treatment, Tolo News reported citing a local source.

Following the explosion, clashes erupted between foreign troops and attackers close to the airbase, said a spokesperson for the provincial governor Wahida Shahkar.

Earlier, Pajhwok Afghan News has reported that a suicide car bomb has targeted a NATO convoy in Bagram district.
