| Deadly blasts hit Pakistan churches in Lahore | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Explosions have killed at least five people near two churches in a Christian neighbourhood of the Pakistani city of Lahore, local media say. | |
| At least 50 people were reportedly hurt in the explosions at the Catholic church and Christ Church in the city's Youhanabad area. | |
| The twin blasts took place at a busy time, with many people in the area to attend Sunday mass. | |
| Pakistan's Christian community has often been targeted by militants. | |
| An offshoot of the Pakistan Taliban, calling itself Jamatul Ahrar, has said it carried out the attack. | |
| Witnesses say suicide bombers were responsible for the explosions but police have not confirmed this. | |
| According to local media reports, a crowd has gathered at the scene of the blasts, attacking a man suspected of involvement in the explosions. | |
| At least 80 people were killed by bombers at a church in the Pakistani city of Peshawar in 2013, in what is thought to be the deadliest ever attack on the country's Christians. | |
