The huge blast, which also inflicted injuries upon 45 others, took place after a terrorist detonated his explosives vest in the police district one (PD1) of the city at around 3:00 p.m. local time, Kamawal added.
According to Attaullah Khogyani, the provincial governor's front man, all the victims were civilians.
