A suicide attacker allegedly detonated an explosives-laden vehicle at a checkpoint, causing the explosion, the Associated Press reported, citing police and rescue officials.

According to emergency service Rescue 1122, eight men, two women and a child were among those killed in the attack.

The explosion took place at the Aman Mela checkpost near Mughal Kot and Darazinda on the Dera Ismail Khan-Quetta Road, close to the border between Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, according to police, reported The Dawn.

Bomb disposal teams have been sent to the location to establish the nature and cause of the explosion, police said.

The district has also witnessed other security incidents this month, including attacks involving the Pakistani Taliban.
