Five members of the Georgia-based 48th Brigade were injured, one seriously, in a suicide attack in Afghanistan.
That's according to Lt. Col. Kenneth Baldowski, spokeman for the Army National Guard unit.
He said the five were injured in an explosion. One had serious injuries, the others may be minor, he said.
He said he had no further information on the attack.
The Associated Press said it happened at a joint U.S.-Afghan outpost near the Pakistani border.
An Afghan official said a suicide bomber wearing an Afghan border policeman's uniform blew himself at the U.S. base Thursday, the AP says.
The spokesman for Paktia province, Roullah Samoun, said five Americans were wounded.
Samoun said the attack occurred after sundown in a barracks at a U.S. facility in the Dand aw Patan district in eastern Afghanistan,
about 35 miles east of Gardez.
He did not identify the base by name or say what kind personnel are stationed there.
The 48th Brigade, based in Macon, is nearing the end of a year-long deployment in Afghanistan.
