According to the police, the blast occurred after explosive material blew up at a two-way road near the Umar Farooq intersection in the city.
Among those injured, two were said to be in critical condition. All injured were shifted to the Teaching Hospital.
Law enforcement agencies have cordoned off the area to start an investigation as well as ascertain the intensity of the blast.
A day earlier, four police personnel were martyred and as many others wounded in an overnight terrorist attack on the Bargai Police Station of Lakki Marwat area.
A terrorist attack, according to a foreign news agency, was also launched on the Counter-Terrorism Department’s (CTD) compound in Bannu where the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan were holding several security personnel hostage after seizing control of a counter-terrorism facility in the country's northwest a day earlier.
