Security personnel cordoned off the area soon after the blast occurred. No group or individual has grabbed credit for the blast yet.

Khyber Agency is among Pakistain’s seven semi-autonomous tribal districts near the Afghan border, rife with homegrown holy warriors and foreign krazed killers.

The Pakistain Army had launched Operation Raddul Fasaad (RuF) in February following a spate of terror attacks in the country, which claimed more than a hundred lives and left hundreds others injured.

The operation seeks to eliminate the "residual/latent threat of terrorism", consolidating the gains made in other military operations, and further ensuring the security of Pakistain's borders.
