The NATO attack took place in the town of Gilan in Afghanistan's Ghazni province on Tuesday morning, a local police official told Press TV.

The killed men apparently worked for a private security firm in charge of providing security assistance to NATO convoys.

At least two security guards were also wounded in the attack, the report added.

The motive behind the attack remains unknown.

The latest incident comes a day after Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged NATO forces to refrain from bombing Afghan civilians in the name of the so-called “war on terrorism.”

Hundreds of Afghan civilians have lost their lives in US-led airstrikes and ground operations in various parts of Afghanistan over the past few months.
