A blast has killed at least 10 people at an army recruitment centre in Pakistan's troubled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, police say.
The explosion occurred during a military parade at the centre in the city of Mardan.
Police say it may have been carried out by a suicide bomber.
There had been a relative lull in attacks on the army in the region, where Taliban militants are active, correspondents say.
According to private Pakistani TV channel Express 24/7, the blast hit the Punjab Regiment Centre.
Residents in Mardan said the explosion happened while recruits were conducting morning training.
