A bomb blast at a religious seminary in the Pakistani city of Peshawar killed at least seven people and wounded more than 80, police and hospital officials said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bomb in the north western city, near the border with Afghanistan, which has long been plagued by Islamist violence.

Peshawar police chief Mohammad Ali Gandapur told Reuters the bomb contained up to 6 kg of explosives. Some of the past attacks have been claimed by the Pakistani Taliban. However, the militant group released a statement saying they condemned Tuesday's blast and denied involvement. "I want to assure my nation we will ensure the terrorists responsible for this cowardly barbaric attack are brought to justice ASAP," he said.
