Suicide bombers have killed three officers in an attack on a security force headquarters in Pakistan, police and rescue officials have said.

One attacker detonated their explosives at the main gate of the paramilitary headquarters in Peshawar, which is near the border with Afghanistan.

Police chief Saeed Ahmad said a second bomber was shot and killed by officers near the parking area, adding that a swift response by security forces had prevented more casualties.

Exact details about what happened are still unfolding, with the Reuters news agency reporting that there was a third suicide bomber.

Three officers are believed to have been killed with five other people wounded. This is in addition to the suicide bombers.

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