A bomb explosion at a marketplace in north-western Pakistan has killed at least 13 people, officials say.
About 15 were injured in the blast, which occurred in the town of Landi Kotal near the Afghan border. The bomb appeared to be aimed at members of a pro-government tribe who oppose a local warlord, officials say.
Landi Kotal is in the Khyber tribal agency, part of Pakistan's tribal north-west which has seen frequent attacks by Taliban militants.
The town lies close to the Torkham crossing into Afghanistan.
No group has so far claimed the attack.
