A bomb blast outside a church in Peshawar, Pakistan has killed at least 60 people and injured more than 100 others, officials say.

According to BBC News, two suicide bombers blew themselves up as people were coming out after Sunday Mass.

Witnesses said they heard two blasts, the second more powerful than the first.

About 500 to 600 people were believed to have been inside the church at the time.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, although Islamist militants have been blamed for previous attacks on Pakistan's Christians, who make up about 1.6% of the country's mainly Muslim population.
