At least five people were killed Thursday evening as two separate explosions struck Sargodha, a city in eastern Pakistani province of Punjab, and Khyber, a tribal area in the northwest, local sources said.

In Khyber, five people were killed and several injured after a blast hit a parking area in Landi Kotal, only 5 km to the Khyber pass on the border.

Sources said the explosion went off in an oil tanker bound to supply the fuel to NATO forces in Afghanistan. Three tankers parking nearby also caught fire due to the blast.

Two persons sitting in the oil tanker were killed and three others including two women were also killed in a passerby vehicle.

Security forces had the site cordoned off. All dead and injured were shifted to a nearby hospital.

Local TV channels reported a second blast near the border area in Khyber but no immediate details are available.

Meanwhile in Sargodha, an explosion has been heard near an air force base before rescue teams and ambulances rushed to the Tariq Abad locality in the city and shops were closed and the people started running to safe places, witnesses said.

Correspondents said that the huge explosion has been heard in the whole city of hundreds of thousands of people.

Regional Police Officer Mian Javed Islam said that he has not received any information about the blast.
