At least 10 people have been killed in two separate attacks in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.



Police say six were killed and about 70 injured when two bombs exploded at a busy market.



Shortly after, a suicide bomber attacked a military checkpoint on the outskirts of the city, killing four soldiers.



The attacks came hours after Pakistani Taliban warned of further violence following a gun and bomb attack in Lahore, which killed at least 24 people.



In the initial Peshawar attacks, bombs were on two motorcycles and detonated by timers.
