At least 47 people have been killed by a bomb that apparently targeted policemen praying in a mosque in Peshawar (Peh-Shah-Wah), Pakistan.
The mosque is within the tightly-guarded police headquarters area.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif says terrorists want to create fear by targeting those who perform the duty of defending Pakistan.
Peshawar police chief Muhammad Ijaz Khan told local media that between 300 and 400 police officials were in the area at the time.
The mosque is in one of the most tightly controlled areas of the city, which includes police headquarters and intelligence and counter-terrorism bureaus.
The blast took place during afternoon prayers in the north-western city, near the country's border with Afghanistan.
A video circulating on social media showed that half of a wall caved in and the mosque was covered in bricks and debris as people clambered over the rubble to escape.
