Witnesses said the location of the explosion was near the army headquarters and a district close to some large hotels.
The city is near the capital, Islamabad.
Television stations are showing pictures of ambulances and police vehicles racing through the streets, sirens blaring.
The blast comes as the army is involved in a massive offensive against Taliban militants in South Waziristan.
There have been several retaliatory attacks since the offensive began last month, including a deadly car bomb blast in the city of Peshawar on Wednesday that killed over 100 people.
