Pakistani police are reporting that at least 15 people have been killed after two explosions ripped through a market in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar.
Officers said they were investigating the cause of the blasts, which also wounded more than 40 people.
The number of attacks by militants in Pakistan has risen sharply since al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in a US commando raid last month.
On Thursday, eight soldiers were killed at a checkpoint in South Waziristan.
