“Four people have been killed and more than 20 wounded, and there were women and children among the injured,” senior police official Dilawar Bangash told AFP.

“It was a big explosion. I am on site and can see the smoke. Several people have been wounded,” he said.

Police said a nearby police residential complex had also been severely damaged and houses had collapsed, trapping several people in the rubble.

Police said it was a bomb blast but they were investigating whether a suicide bomber had targeted the area or someone had planted a bomb.
