Two people have been injured as explosives went off near a mosque in Shafi Town of Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab province on Friday afternoon.
Rescue officials quoted by DawnNews claimed there were two attackers, a man and a burqa-clad woman. The woman allegedly blew herself up while the man fled.
Deputy Superintendent Police Chaudhry Ashraf also said the explosion was a suicide attack, but eyewitnesses claim to have seen a burqa-clad attacker lob a grenade at a car outside the mosque which is situated close by a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) office.
The DSP said two people were injured in the attack.
Further details are awaited.
