Fifty of the roughly 100 injured are being handled in vital situation, the ministry added.
The explosion occurred within the Al-Zaher district, in line with Aref al-Ghamri, the province's spokesman.
One other native official mentioned there have been clients on the station on the time, which is situated in a busy market, and that was the explanation for the “heavy toll”.
