Kandahar deputy police chief Rahmatullah Atrafi said eight security guards of a private security firm were among the victims.
The attack happened around 11:15am near Kandahar Air Field - a Nato-run military base - when a suicide bomber on a motorbike detonated his explosives while Afghan civilians were gathered in a transport area near the base. Then a second suicide bomber in a car blew himself up, provincial spokesman Jawid Faisal said.
Provincial police chief General Abdul Raziq earlier told TOLOnews that the suicide bomber appeared to be targeting a convoy of Afghan private security guards.
No group, including the Taliban, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
