Five blasts shake Lahore after two suicide bombings
|
|
Five successive low-intensity blasts hit Pakistan's eastern city Lahore Friday, less than 12 hours after massive twin blasts killed at least 48 people and injured 95 in the town.
The five back-to-back blasts took place in the span of 45 minutes within the distance of few hundred metres at the Moon Market in Iqbal Town area.
The fresh blasts were caused by hand grenades hurled at different locations by a man riding a motor bike, according to police sources.
The first blast occurred at an empty plot in Kashmir Block. The second hit a car parked outside a house. The third blast, which took place near Edhi Center in Kashmir Block, was followed by the fourth explosion outside the residence of a senior police official in the area. The fifth blast occurred at Karim Block area.
No causalty has been reported in these attacks. However, four people were injured, Geo News reported.
The attacks came after twin suicide bombings at a military convoy killed at least 48 people, including 18 soldiers, in an another busy market of Lahore Friday.
The attacks, which also injured 95 people, took place at RA Bazar in the afternoon within 15-second gap when two suicide bombers blew themselves up targeting the garrison security force which was carrying out a routine patrol in the area.
The twin bombings were the second attack this week on security personnel in Lahore, where a car bomb hit a building housing a police interrogation centre Monday, killing 15 people and injuring around 70.
Meanwhile, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed the responsibility for the RA Bazar twin bombings.
Earier in December last year, Lahore's Moon Market area was hit by twin blasts in which dozens of people were killed.
