Police say a bomb has exploded near a KFC fast-food restaurant in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar.

There was no immediate word on casualties in the blast Saturday.

Police official Haroon Khan says several vehicles were damaged and the windows of nearby stores were shattered in the explosion.

The KFC restaurant is well known in the city and has security guards stationed outside.

It is the latest in a string of attacks to rock the country as the army battles the Taliban in the northwest. An attack Friday on a mosque frequented by army personnel killed 37 people in Rawalpindi city.
