At least seven people were killed, and three others were injured in a twin blast in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Saturday.
The blasts occurred in different areas of Bannu earlier in the day. The region borders the North Waziristan tribal region near Afghanistan.
The bombs were planted alongside a road.
The first blast, which struck a passenger van, killed five people and injured three others. The blast was caused by a remotely controlled improvised explosive device, Police officer Yasir Afridi told reporters.
The second blast took place while the injured were being transported to the hospital in a car. At least two people were killed in the second explosion.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks as of now, despite militant organisations like the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan being present in the region.
"A private pickup truck carrying passengers was targeted with a remote-controlled IED... the injured were being transported to the hospital in a car for emergency treatment when a second IED exploded," said Yasir Afridi,
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the attacks and expressed his sorrow over the deaths.
He said that the government was “committed to eliminating terrorism” and "bringing those responsible to justice".
Pakistan has blamed neighbouring Afghanistan for an increasing number of attacks in the country and for harbouring anti-Pakistan militants.
The Taliban government has denied all of Pakistan’s accusations.
Pakistani strikes have killed at least 12 people in Afghanistan near the border between the countries this month.
