A roadside bomb hit a convoy of Nato peacekeepers in north-eastern Afghanistan on Friday, damaging one vehicle but hurting no one, an official said.

The blast happened at 10am in Fayzabad, the capital of Badakhshan province, and the second of three vehicles in the convoy sustained minor damage, said Lt Riccardo Cristoni of the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force.
