A suicide bombing at a crowded market in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar has killed at least 23 people, police and officials say.
The bomb went off in the centre of the city as police watched over a protest rally against power cuts.
One of the city’s most senior police officers was killed. No group has claimed the attack – the Taliban have carried out dozens of recent bombings.
Earlier, a bomb blast outside a city school killed a boy and wounded others.
