in the northwest of the country, happened at around 1.30pm in the afternoon, when the mosque was packed with worshippers. more than 150 people were injured. a section of the building was destroyed, and officials say people are buried under the rubble. several others are being taken to local hospitals. the cause of the explosion is unclear. a peshawar police chief has said they cannot rule out the possibility of a suicide bombing. earlier, i caught up with tarhub asghar from bbc urdu, she joined us live from lahore with the latest. this blast happened at around 2pm or 3pm. 1or2pm. when, initially, people were offering prayer, the blast happened. according to a person who was there, he told that when he entered the mosque, there was a huge blast and he ended up in hospital. if i talk about the locality of that
