NATO says a mine blast has killed one of its soldiers and wounded three others in eastern Afghanistan.

An alliance statement says the soldier was fatally wounded when a patrol hit a mine in Khogyani district of Nangarhar province on Tuesday.

It hasn't released the nationality of the casualties or any other details.

More than 30 foreign troops have been killed in Afghanistan this month alone, many of them by bombs and mines planted along roadsides.
