The first blast took place on Hamzai Road, killing two people and injuring three others.
"A vehicle hit a landmine in Pewaar leaving two dead," a local intelligence official told AFP. Another local intelligence official also confirmed the incident.
The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention. Police cordoned off the area and started their investigation.
The second blast took place in the Yousaf Khel area, injuring one person.
There has been a rise in sectarian violence in the country after November's deadly clashes in Rawalpindi.
