CCTV footage from social media showed the moment of blast when three suicide bombers detonated explosives during an attack on the headquarters of a Pakistani paramilitary force on Monday (November 24).

The attack killed three paramilitary personnel, authorities said. Five people, including two paramilitary personnel, were wounded and taken to Lady Reading Hospital, its spokesperson Mohammad Asim said.

Reuters was able to independently verify the location of the video from buildings, pillars and barriers which matched file and aftermath imagery of the area. The date was verified from the time stamp on the CCTV footage which matched reports of the time of the attack.

The attackers opened fire as they forced themselves into the headquarters of the frontier constabulary in Peshawar city before blowing themselves up inside the complex, police said.

The headquarters of the force is located in a densely populated area of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

No militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.

Islamist militants operating in the region have ramped up attacks in recent weeks after last month's deadly border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Pakistan blames the Afghan Taliban for harbouring the militants who it says launch cross-border attacks, a charge Kabul denies.
