The incident took place in the vicinity of the 8th police district of the city close to Bala-e-Sar area in the afternoon..

A security source has been quoted as saying that a suicide bomber inside a taxi vehicle detonated his explosives close to a security check post as the  forces were conducting regular security check ups.
