The bomber detonated his explosives-laden car near a sports ground in the Lakki Marwat district. Several children were among the victims, according to police.

No one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

The district borders the semi-autonomous tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan, where Pakistani troops have been conducting a major offensive against Islamist insurgents since mid-October.

The insurgents have responded with frequent deadly attacks.
