Officials from the bomb disposal unit were targeted in the blast as they were disposing of an explosive device, a government official said.
The injured were shifted to the Combined Military Hospital in Bannu for treatment. The explosion occurred as routine curfew had been imposed in the area.
The blast was followed by another a few hours later in Miranshah, North Waziristan Agency. However, no casualties were reported in the second explosion.
Although most of the areas in North Waziristan Agency have been cleared following military operations, explosions targeting security personnel are still happening.
