Police on Thursday said the explosive of about 20kg was planted at the Defence area market, a popular shopping destination with a number of restaurants and coffee shops.

A second blast was also heard in another upscale neighbourhood in lahore, local media said, without giving details on casualties
Pakistan has been struck by a wave of attacks in recent weeks, killing at least 130 people across the country and leaving hundreds wounded.
Last week, a suicide attack targeting police at a protest rally in central Lahore killed at least 13 people and wounded several others, the first in a wave of bombings and suicide attacks across Pakistan that saw more than 110 people killed.
