    (IANS)


    Five successive blasts within the span of 45 minutes ripped through a market place in Pakistan's eastern city Lahore Friday, less than 12 hours after twin blasts rocked the town, killing 48 people.

    All the five back-to-back explosions took place in Iqbal Town area of Moon Market, raising the total number of blasts in the city to seven.

    The first blast occurred in an empty plot in Kashmir Block. The second blast hit a car parked outside a house. The third blast, which took place near Edhi Center in Kashmir Block, was followed by the fourth explosion outside the residence of a senior police official in the area, Geo News reported.

    The fifth blast occurred at Karim Block area. No causality has been reported in these attacks. However, four people were injured.

    Earlier in the day, two suicide bombers blew themselves up in Lahore's RA Market, targeting a military convoy. At least 48 people, including 18 soldiers, were killed and 95 injured in that attack.
