An explosion at a police post in Multan has killed three policemen and wounded several others, sources said.
The blast took place at Chowki Gaddafi at Multan Lahore Road, a major thoroughfare of the city. It is yet to be known if it was a suicide attack or a planted bomb. It is a commercial area and is, therefore, usually crowded.
The explosion has also damaged windowpanes of the nearby buildings.
DCO Multan said it was a suicide attack, but sources said the bomb was planted at a motorcycle, which has been completely damaged.
The injured have been shifted to Nishtar Hospital.
Police said the five men detained at the post tried to escape, but they captured three of them. Two managed to escape.
