A suicide bomber blew himself up near a police van in Pakistan's northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, but fortunately, no casualties were reported, authorities said.

According to police, the bomber detonated his explosives shortly after the police van had passed by in the Umarzai area of Charsadda district.

A police official confirmed that no one was injured in the blast, as the area was not crowded at the time of the explosion.

A large contingent of police swiftly arrived at the scene to secure the area, and an investigation has been launched into the incident.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
