"Three people including two children were killed and 26 people were injured, the target was a paramilitary convoy," a senior security official told AFP.
Five soldiers were among the wounded, officials said.
An official of the paramilitary Frontier Corps confirmed the incident. There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
