A suicide car bomb has struck a joint Afghan-Nato military outpost in eastern Paktia province.
No deaths were reported but officials said at least 10 members of the Afghan army were injured in the attack, which the Taliban said they had carried out.
Nato said no casualties were reported among the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf).
Foreign forces are due to withdraw from Afghanistan by 2014, which has sparked fears of a surge in violence.
An Isaf spokesman told AFP news agency the combat outpost in Zurmat district was attacked by "insurgents using a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device".
Abdul Raman Mangal, deputy governor of Paktia province, put the number of injured soldiers at 45. He told the BBC the base had sustained damage.
Provincial government spokesman Rohullah Samon told the Associated Press news agency the bomb appeared to have gone off before the driver reached the camp's gates.
He said most of the wounded soldiers had been in rooms that collapsed from the force of the explosion, which shattered windows up to 3km (2 miles) away.
There were reports of mortar fire directed at the base after the bombing.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said the militant group had carried out the attack and that its fighters had managed to break into the base.
Nato and Afghan officials denied this.
