At least two people are dead after a bomb went off in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar.

The explosion happened near a police truck early on Monday - and both of those killed were police officers.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

Pakistan's Taliban are often blamed for suicide bombings across the country.

Peshawar is an old trading city on the main route to nearby Afghanistan, hard hit by years of militant attacks.
