Police forces also reached the scene to gather evidence and launch an investigation into the incident.
The area has been cordoned off as authorities continue their search for those responsible.
In another remote controlled IED attack earlier earlier on Sunday, a son of a tribal elder was killed on his car in Lower South Waziristan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
