At least 100 hurt, 43 killed in Lahore blast

Police in Lahore have updated the death toll from todays blast to 43, with at least 100 injured.

Two suicide bombers targeting army vehicles detonated explosives within seconds of each other in the Pakistani city earlier today.

About 10 of those killed were soldiers, said Lahore police chief Parvaiz Rathore.

A series of small explosions went off later, terrifying residents in a different Lahore neighbourhood.

Police officials said the four low-intensity blasts, that injured at least three people, apparently resulted from loose explosives – not packed bombs - scattered through the residential area.

While the explosions sent police and rescue workers racing through the area, there were no immediate reports of deaths or major damage.
