A bomb has exploded close to a volleyball game in the troubled north-west of Pakistan, with as many as 20 people feared dead, officials say.

At least one home near the sports field collapsed, and people were said to be trapped under rubble.

The attack took place in Lakki Marwat, close to the tribal areas of North and South Waziristan.

Police officials said a suicide bomber had carried out the attack, although details remained unclear.

One police official told Reuters that a suicide bomber had approached the game on foot and blown himself up.

"There's a lot of damage. Roofs of nearby houses collapsed. There could be high casualties," the official, Habibullah Khan, said.

However, another report cited police as saying the bomber drove a car packed with explosives on to the field as people gathered to watch the match.

Mr Khan was quoted by the Associated Press as saying the attack may have been in retaliation for attempts by locals to expel militants by setting up their own militia.
