Initial reports indicated that 14 people were injured. The provincial authorities suggest that the second explosion was triggered by the first one, according to the media. An investigation into the blasts has been launched, the news agency said.

The blast occurred just several months after another explosion hit a Turkish weapons depot near the Syrian border.
