Authorities at Kandahar's Mirwais hospital said the dead and wounded included both civilians and members of the Afghan security forces.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

Arif Noori, spokesman for the provincial governor, said a large Taliban force, armed with heavy weapons, attacked government positions in five districts of the province late on Monday, with fighting continuing until dawn.
The Pentagon's Office of the Inspector General said there were "few signs of progress" in the fight against the Taliban.
