At least 12 people have been killed in a blast which hit a crowded market in the Khyber tribal1 region of north-west Pakistan, reports say.
巴基斯坦西北部开柏尔地区一座拥挤的市场发生一起爆炸案,至少12人被杀。
Witnesses say a car bomb exploded in the market at Jamrud, the main town in the Khyber area.
The explosion took place close to the offices of the tribal administration. The injured have been taken to hospital in the nearby city of Peshawar.
No group has said it carried out the attack as yet.
The bombing comes a day after a 15-hour stand-off between militants2 and security forces in the vicinity of Peshawar airport, located just about 10km (six miles) east of Jamrud town.
At least 10 militants were killed in the clash, many of them ethnic4 Uzbek fighters, officials said. The Pakistani Taliban said they carried out that attack.
The powerful blast in Khyber destroyed vehicles and damaged buildings in the market area. Many of those wounded are said to be in a critical condition.
Reports say the blast took place in front of the office of the assistant political agent for Khyber, one of the top local government officials in the semi-autonomous region.
The BBC's M Ilyas Khan in Islamabad says that several militant3 groups, including the Pakistani Taliban, have sanctuaries5 in the Khyber region.
The army has carried out several offensives in Pakistan's tribal areas, including Khyber, in the past.
