Six Nato troops have been killed by a man disguised as an Afghan policeman in during a training session in eastern Afghanistan.
The attack, which took place on Monday in Nangarhar province, is the latest in a series of similar attacks targeting foreign troops in Afghanistan.
"An individual in an Afghan border police uniform turned his weapon against International Security Assistance Forces (Isaf) during a training mission today, killing six service members in eastern Afghanistan," Isaf said in a statement released on Monday.
Isaf did not reveal the nationality of the dead troops, but the attack took place in a part of Afghanistan where US forces are locked in a deadly ongoing struggle against Taliban fighters.
The incident was the worst casualty toll suffered by Isaf since eight troops were killed in five separate incidents on October 14.
The deaths bring the number of foreign troops killed in Afghanistan to 668, according to a tally kept by the AFP news agency, making it the deadliest years since the US-led invasion toppled the Taliban government in 2001.
Monday's attack follows the deaths of two Nato troops on a military base in Sangin, a town in the volatile southern province of Helmand, earlier this month.
In July, two US contractors were killed by an Afghan soldier on a base in northern Afghanistan, and a week later three British Gurkha soldiers were killed by another soldier.
