Series of attacks
Several members of the Afghan security forces fired into the sky in panic after the blast, he added.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Taliban fighters have previously carried out suicide attacks in the province, which is a stronghold of the militants.
Earlier this month, four policemen and two children were injured in a car bomb close to the police headquarters in the city.
Kandahar, the biggest city in southern Afghanistan and the birthplace of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, is at the heart of a nine-year Taliban battle with some 140,000 US-led international troops.
It has been flooded with international troops in recent months and there is a regular stream of convoys and patrols on the streets.
