The critically injured has been shifted to the military hospital, sources said.

While army officials were tightlipped about the explosion, sources said it took place at around 1:30pm on a truck parked inside the cantonment area in the Ghanghora locality.

CNN-IBN put the number of injured at four.

The truck was about to leave for bringing in supplies from a local vegetable market, the sources added.

TV reports quoting unnamed army officials said it was “not an act of terrorism”.
