A suicide bomber attacked a security forces convoy in northwest Pakistan on Tuesday, wounding eight people, including six paramilitaries, police said.
The attack took place in Hayatabad township, a posh residential area of Peshawar where the Frontier Corps (FC) headquarters is located.
Peshawar Police Cantonment Superintendent Waqas Rafique said it was a suicide hit against the FC convoy.
Two paramilitary forces vehicles were destroyed and eight people were injured in the attack, including six FC members, the official said.
The injured have been taken to a hospital in Peshawar. Two soldiers are said to be in critical condition.
An investigation has been launched into the case, police said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the Pakistani Taliban have carried out such suicide attacks in the past.
