The bomb partially damaged the hospital building in the Pass Kili area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province's Hangu district. Senior government official Khalid Khan Omarzai said several people were also wounded in the explosion.


The attack comes just a day after the start of the holy month of Muharram, which is especially important for Shiites but is often marred by bomb attacks.


Hangu is especially known for attacks by extremist Sunni militant groups aimed at Shiites. The town is effectively segregated between the Muslims of the two sects, with each having their own markets, hospitals and schools.

Earlier this week, a bomb attack in nearby Kohat town killed 15 people.
