One international service member and eight Afghan contractors have been killed in an attack on a military base in the Afghan capital, a NATO official says.
The nationality of the NATO soldier has not been released.
A number of other NATO service members and foreign contracted civilians were wounded in the Friday night attack, NATO spokesman Colonel Brian Tribus said on Saturday.
The Afghans killed were working for NATO's Resolute Support mission on Camp Integrity in Kabul.
The attack on Camp Integrity late on Friday and two massive bombings in the city earlier in the day call into question Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's ability to clamp down the violent insurgency that has hit the country despite his administration's focus on making peace with the Taliban.
Confirmation of the contractors' deaths increased the toll from one of Kabul's worst days of violence to at least 44, with hundreds of others wounded in the three attacks.
The Taliban issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack on the base. It said four attackers were involved, with one blowing up a car at the entrance to enable the other three to enter the base.
The Interior Ministry said 10 security guards were injured and three insurgents killed by Afghan security forces as they tried to enter the base.
The attack on the camp followed within hours of a suicide attack on a police academy in Kabul that killed 20 people and wounded at least 24.
The Taliban said they were also behind the academy attack in which a person dressed in police uniform mingled with cadets returning from their weekend break.
As they were lined up to re-enter the academy, the attacker detonated an explosives-packed vest, a security official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to release the information.
Earlier on Friday, a truck bomb in a residential area of Kabul killed 15 people and wounded more than 200, in one of the most devastating attacks on the capital since the insurgency began in 2001.
