Around 20 security personnel were also injured in the blast, it said.

The suicide bomber managed to take the explosive-laden car inside the heavily-guarded compound of the police station at around 1 am, when most of the security personnel were asleep, the report said.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
