24 people have become victims of the Sunday terrorist assault in the Southern Afghanistan province of Uruzgan, according the world's news agencies.
Four policemen are among the victims while the rest are civilian Afghanis, most of them children.
The bombing took place in the bazaar in the city of Deh Rawood and was aimed at a police vehicle parked at the bazaar's entrance.
According to media reports, the police vehicle has been destroyed while 37 civilians and five policemen have been injured in addition to the 24 fatalities. It is expected that the dead toll and the number of injured would rise.
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing, but similar attacks have been carried out by Taliban militants.
The blast comes less than a week after the suicide bombing at the Indian embassy in the Afghan capital Kabul, which killed more than 40 people including Indian senior diplomats.
The Kabul bombing was the deadliest suicide attack in the capital since the 2001 fall of the Taliban.
