A pair of suicide bombers drove two vehicles filled with explosives into a security installation in northwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, killing at least 12 civilians, among them six children, police and rescue services said.
The blast brought down the roof of a nearby mosque soon after residents had broken their fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in a market teeming with shoppers, a military official said on condition of anonymity.
Security forces foiled the militants' bid to enter the military facility after the blast, the official said, adding that six of them were killed in an exchange of fire.
