A suicide car bomb struck a convoy of coalition forces in the Afghan capital of Kabul Sunday, officials said.

The number of casualties was not immediately clear.

Afghanistan's Ministry of the Interior spokesman Najib Danish said "a few civilians" were injured in the blast, which rocked the city at around 9:15 a.m. local time.

U.S.-led coalition forces spokesperson Col. Brian Tribus confirmed that a convoy of coalition forces was targeted and struck in the blast.

"No casualties reported so far and we are gathering more information at this time," Tribus said.

When U.S. media reports coalition, it usually means someone other than U.S.. In this case, it’s UK
