The bomb was planted in a square in Baghlan-e-Markazi district, said Javid Basharat, a police spokesman for Baghlan province.
Separately, an Afghan Army soldier was killed and six others were injured in an apparently accidental helicopter crash in southern Uruzgan province, a local government office said.
