PESHAWAR, Pakistan: At least five people were killed and 25 others were injured in a suicide attack on a police post in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar on Saturday, officials said.

District Coordination Officer Sahibzada Anis said that the bomber explosive-filled car near a police check post at a crowded square on Ring Road of Peshawar, the capital of North West Frontier Province.

Anis said five people were killed and 25 others were injured. State television reported that 12 people were killed in the attack. Doctors said that two children were among those killed.

Anis said the bomber came in a car from the nearby tribal region of Bara and detonated his bomb at Pishtakhara area, an entry to the city and a busy locality in the outskirts.

The official said that the injured were shifted to three hospitals in the emergency-declared city.

Anis said the bomber exploded his bomb as the police stopped the car at the check post.

Ambulances from the government-run hospitals and private relief agencies rushed to the site and shifted the injured to hospitals.

The attack damaged several vehicles in the square and people said that the explosion was heard in the whole city.

A witness said that it was darkness in the blast site and he saw injured people and police men lying in the square.

It was the sixth attack in Peshawar within a week, which has killed around 70 people, according to police.
