"The suicide bomber detonated his car near a residential area in Azra district of Logar, killing four army soldiers and seven local policemen," Din Mohammad Darwish a spokesman for Logar's governor said.
Violence has increased in Afghanistan over the past year as foreign troops prepare to withdraw by the end of 2014.
The government is reluctant to release figures on casualties, but more than 4,000 police and soldiers were killed fighting Taliban insurgents in 2013 and this year's toll is expected to be higher.
