A car bomb has ripped through a crowded bazaar in Pakistan's north-western city of Peshawar, leaving up to 49 people dead and 100 wounded.
Ambulances rushed to the scene after the blast hit a shopping area close to the city's main Khyber Bazaar.
It was not immediately clear if it was a remote-controlled device or a suicide attack.
Peshawar is the main city in the northwest and has been a frequent target of militants linked to the Taliban and al-Qaeda, who are waging a violent insurgency against the Pakistani state.
