A powerful suicide bombing on Wednesday injured five at a medical centre under-construction near Bagram Air Base, the main American base north of the capital Kabul, the US military said.

The attacker struck the centre being built to help the Afghans who live nearby, the US military said. There were no coalition casualties and the base remains secure, the statement said.

Earlier reports suggested a US military convoy might have been the target early on Wednesday.

Dr Sangin, a physician, said that the hospital near the perimeter of the base was on fire. It wasn't immediately clear if any foreigners were inside the hospital.

Gen Mahfooz Walizada, police commander of northern Parwan province, confirmed the attack on Wednesday morning but offered no details on casualties.

Dr Sangin, who is the head of the provincial hospital, said that they have received five injured, all Afghans.
