Attock, Aug 16 (IBNS): An intense explosion took place at Pakistan's Punjab province Home Minister Colonel (retd) Shuja Khanzada's political office on Sunday leaving seven people dead, media reports said.

"Home Minister Shuja Khanzada has been critically injured in the attack, media reports citing hospital sources say. Conflicting media reports say Khanzada is still buried under rubble at the scene of the attack," Pakistan's Dawn.com reported.

As a result of the blast, the roof of the building collapsed and window panes of nearby houses were shattered.

About 20 to 25 people are reportedly trapped beneath the debris as the entire structure has been destroyed.
