A roadside bomb hit a vehicle carrying police officers in Pakistan on Friday, killing at least one officer and wounding up to 13 others, police officials said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, according to Reuters.
The explosive device, which was rigged to a motorcycle, exploded as the police patrol passed by the bus terminal in the northwestern city of Kohat, police official Nauman Khan stated.
Ahsan Khan, an official at a district hospital, said that five of the 13 wounded are in critical health condition due to their injuries.
Also, an explosion caused by a gas leak at a hotel killed five family members in the northwest. According to city police chief Qazi Jamilur Rehman, a fire followed the explosion but was extinguished by firefighters, AP reported.
Guests were evacuated from the Hotel Afandi in the Bilal Town neighborhood, Rehman added.
