In Pakistan, 25 people were killed and 50 injured in two separate blasts in the northwestern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province on Sunday. Police said, militants targeted an army-run bakery and a bus stop in these blasts. In one of the incident, 18 people were killed and nearly 40 others injured when a blast ripped through the A-1 Bakery in Nowshera cantonment, 40 km from Peshawar. Provincial Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain said, the blast, caused by a remote-controlled bomb, set off several gas cylinders and triggered a major fire. The bakery on Mall Road is run by the army and was crowded when the blast occurred at 8.30 pm. In another attack, seven persons were killed and 10 injured when a bomb planted in a van went off at a bus stop at Mattani on the outskirts of Peshawar. The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for both attacks.
