A suicide bomber has killed at least 25 people and injured many others at a village market in north-west Pakistan.
The explosion is said to have taken place at a busy intersection close to the garrison town of Kohat.
Most of the dead are believed to be members of the Shi'ite Muslim minority.
The area has a history of sectarian tension and the village is also close to the Orakzai tribal region, a stronghold of the Taleban's present chief.
Hakimullah Mehsud took over as chief of the Pakistani Taleban, a Sunni group, after his predecessor, Baitullah Mehsud, was killed by a United States missile strike.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the latest attack.
