Five members of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, the ISAF said in a statement. 

"Five International Security Assistance Force service members died following an improvised explosive device attack in southern Afghanistan today," the coalition said in a statement issued in Kabul.

The NATO did not provide other details, or the nationalities of those killed.

The troops died in an improvised explosive device (IED) attack, NATO's ISAF confirmed in a statement.

The attack came four days after three British soldiers were killed in a similar attack in the neighboring province of Helmand.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but Taliban militants frequently use roadside bombs against U.S.-led foreign troops and their Afghan allies.
