Police said the bomb went off on the busy Maka al Mukaram road, with a witness telling Reuters that the blast was followed by big clouds of smoke visible in the sky.
A police officer told Reuters: "They were mostly pedestrians while others were shopping"
"The death toll may rise. Most of the injured ones are very serious," he added.
It is not yet clear who is responsible for the blast.
