A bomb exploded near the office of the UN refugee agency in Pakistan`s northwestern city of Peshawar on Monday, killing at least two people, police said.
The blast took place near residential quarters for the US consulate and foreign aid organizations, senior police officer Tahir Ayub told AFP, adding that three people were injured.
Umar Riaz, a senior police officer, said initial reports suggested the blast was a car bomb, with the vehicle parked around 25 meters from the office of the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR)
The explosion left a crater in the road and destroyed a Jeep, damaging two others and demolishing the facing walls of four nearby houses, an AFP reporter said.
"We are not sure about the nature of the explosives at the moment or whether it was a remote control bomb or not," Riaz said.
