At least 25 people have been killed and dozens more injured in a bomb attack on a mosque in north-west Pakistan, local officials say.
The attack took place during Friday prayers in the Darra Adam Khel area, near Pakistan’s tribal regions, an area which has seen Taliban activity.
The death toll from the attack on the Sunni mosque is likely to rise, local officials say.
Officials are investigating whether it was a suicide bombing.
The target could have been a tribal elder who had encouraged people to take a stand against the Taliban, according to one report. It is not clear whether he was among the victims.
A local official said the mosque’s roof had caved in.
“We fear there might be more casualties in the debris,” he said.
