A suicide attacker detonated on Thursday a checkpoint near the airport of the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad, killing one soldier, local media reported.

One more soldier was reportedly injured by the explosion, the TOLOnews media outlet reported, citing a spokesman for the Nangarhar governor, Attaullah Khoghyani.

Further details of the incident remain unknown.

The incident occurred just a day after a huge blast hit the Afghan capital of Kabul killing up to 90 people and injuring hundreds more. ISIL reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.
