Truncate Table Not Allowed in PL/SQL?

A one-line stored procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE x1 as
begin
truncate table tablex1;
end;

got this error, 'PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TABLE" when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ;The symbol ":= was inserted before "TABLE" to continue.'

While connected as the same user, I have no problem to execute this truncate command in SQL worksheet.
