The explosion in the capital of the violence-hit North-West Frontier Province wounded another 15 people, CNN reported.

The bomb, hidden in car parked under a bridge, exploded as the air force bus carrying supplies reached a crossing, Pakistani air force Capt. Tariq Mahmoud said, the report said.

Those killed and wounded included both bus passengers and civilians on the street, a television reporter told CNN.

The province, near the border with Afghanistan, has been wracked by violence as the Pakistani military tries to regain control of the region from the Taliban.

The militants have vowed to step up their violence if the military operations don't cease.
