The Silab Corps officials said the two Taliban insurgents killed in the explosion have been identified as Qari Mahfooz and Bakhtiar.
The Taliban insurgents group has not commented regarding the report so far.
The anti-government armed militant groups frequently use explosives materials for the roadside bombings and car bombings to target the government staff and security personnel.
However, in majority of such incidents the ordinary civilians are targeted besides such bombings incur casualties to the security personnel and in some cases the Taliban militants themselves are killed or wounded.
