The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital in Shabqadar for treatment. The FC centre is located in the Ayesha Korona area of Charsadda district on the confluence of Mohammad Agency.

A faction of the outlawed  Tehreek-e-Taliban Taliban Pakistan Jamaatul Ahrar claimed responsibility for the attack.

The military's media wing Inter Services Public Relations said an operation was underway.

"Suicide Bombers bid to attack FC training center at Shabqadar foiled. Two suicide bombers killed. One FC soldier killed and another injured," the statement added.

The area is one kilometre outside of Mohmand Agency in Peshawar district, which is administratively run by Charsadda police, and has an advanced FC training centre.
