The group confirmed that seven of its workers were injured, including four in serious condition.

On its part, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) denied any links to the suicide attack.

"We have made it clear many times before that religious and political parties are not among our targets," TTP spokesperson Mohammad Khurasani said in a statement.

"Such activities are carried out by Pakistan's secret services and anti-Islamic elements in the country," he indicated.

The TTP spokesperson added that "political and religious parties are not among our targets, some channels are spreading fake news to get cheap fame."
