At least nine people, including seven children, have been killed and dozens wounded when a bomb exploded in an Islamic seminary in Pakistan, police said.
More than a dozen mud-built houses collapsed after the powerful explosion shook the village near Mian Channu in Punjab province on Monday.
The seminary was based in a house in which children were taught the Quran.
"It appears that the blast was caused by some explosives placed inside the house," Kamran Khan, police chief in the area, said.
A doctor at the town's hospital said at least 60 people were wounded.
Many people were trapped under rubble, and the explosion's cause is unclear.
