Eight foreign troops and a contractor have been killed by an Afghan air force pilot at Kabul airport in an apparent argument, Nato says.
The incident took place at a facility used by the Afghan air force at about 1100 local time (0630 GMT), the Afghan defence ministry said.
The pilot was also killed in the exchange.
The incident is the deadliest of a number of recent attacks on foreigners by Afghan security personnel.
"We can confirm there was small-arms fire during this incident," said Nato-led International Security Assistance Force spokesman Maj Tim James.
"We don't know how the shooting started."
The nationalities of the dead have not been divulged pending notification of their families.
