A bomb has gone off outside a building housing a federal investigative agency in Pakistan's city of Lahore, killing at least eight people and wounding 45 others, police and government officials said.
A police official said that Monday's explosion appeared to be a suicide car bomb.
Mohammad Riaz, another police official, said: "The blast has taken place in Model Town area near the FIA [Federal Investigation Agency] building and we're trying to ascertain the nature of the blast and number of casualties."
"So far there are eight people dead and 45 wounded. There are still people trapped under the rubble of the security building targeted," city police chief Pervez Rathore said.
A doctor at the hospital treating victims said the dead included a woman and a child.
The agency has been attacked at least twice before in Lahore.
Television footage showed scenes of major destruction with fallen masonry, a large crater in the ground and volunteers trying to shift debris by hand as ambulances raced to the scene.
