"A bomb attached to a bicycle went off at about 1:00 p.m. local time in Kandahar city when a vehicle of Afghan National Army (ANA) passed by leaving one soldier dead and three other soldiers injured," provincial police chief General Abdul Raziq told Xinhua.
The blast scene was cordoned off by police shortly after the explosion and the injured were admitted to a hospital in the city, some 450 km south of Afghan capital Kabul.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Afghan and NATO-led troops have intensified cleanup operations against Taliban and other militant groups throughout the country recently as spring and summer, known as "fighting season", are drawing near.
Kandahar, the birthplace of Taliban, has seen increasing militancy despite continued military operations there.
