Hospital and rescue officials stated that an explosion in the northern Pakistani city of Peshawar early Tuesday injured four children, aged seven to ten, as well as an adult.
The spokesperson for emergency rescue services, Bilal Ahmad Faizi, said an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated on a popular route in Peshawar at 9:10 a.m. (0410 GMT). He stated that five people were injured, four of whom were children, were injured.
A spokesperson for the Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, Mohammad Asim, stated two of the children are in severe condition.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the incident.
Peshawar, which is on the border of Pakistan’s tribal districts and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan, is frequently attacked by Islamist militant groups such as the Islamic State and the Pakistani Taliban.
Six Taliban militants assaulted an army-run academy in 2014, killing 153 people, the majority of whom were students.
