A remote-controlled bomb has killed at least six people, including security officials and anti-Taliban tribal elders, and wounded five others in northwestern Pakistan.
The blast struck a checkpoint in the Mohmand tribal district near the Afghan border on Saturday, a Press TV correspondent reported.
The target seemed to be volunteers from an anti-militant militia.
After the blast, security forces cordoned off the area and shifted the injured to a local hospital.
Much of the violence in Pakistan has been concentrated near the country's border with Afghanistan.
In a separate attack on Friday in the nearby Khyber agency, unknown militants destroyed two state-run schools.
Officials told Press TV that the schools were completely destroyed, but no casualties were reported as the buildings were empty at the time of the explosions.
No group has yet come forward to claim responsibility for the blasts. Militants have so far destroyed hundreds schools in different parts of the Khyber agency.
