At least 30 people have been killed and many injured in a coordinated attack at a mosque in the city of Rawalpindi, Pakistani military officials say.

Reports suggest there was an initial suicide attack during Friday prayers followed by a series of explosions.

Ambulances have rushed to the scene in the busy Qasim Market area of the city.

The Pakistani security forces have been targeted in a series of recent attacks. Nineteen people were killed in an army base attack in Rawalpindi in October.

Military spokesman Maj Gen Athar Abbas said the attack appeared to have been coordinated.

"There were certainly more than one attacker, so there is a possibility that some of them may still be hiding in the vicinity."

The BBC's Orla Guerin, in Rawalpindi, says helicopters are hovering over the city, suggesting the security forces are still looking for attackers that may be on the run.

The area around the mosque has been heavily cordoned off by police.
