Lahore, Nov.2 (ANI): Over 15 people were reportedly injured in a bomb blast that occurred at the Babu Sabu Motorway Interchange near Lahore on Monday evening.
It was a suicide attack carried out on a police check post here, said reports.
Meanwhile, Police have cordoned off the area and a search is being carried out in the vicinity.
However, no casualty has been reported so far after the incident.
The Lahore blast came hours after a suicide bomber killed 35 people outside a bank in Rawalpindi.
Suspected militants have struck repeatedly in the last month, killing over 300 people in apparent retaliation for an army offensive in a Taliban stronghold. (ANI)
