**Pakistani police have reported gunfire and at least one explosion in the city of Rawalpindi.**One report said the firing was close to a military parade ground, another that it was an attack on a local mosque.
“We have reports that firing was heard,” Mumtaz Ahmed, a police officer, told the Reuters news agency.
The Pakistani security forces have been targeted in a series of recent attacks. Nineteen people were killed in an attack in Rawalpindi in October.
That incident was a raid on an army base for which the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility.
On Wednesday, a suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance to the headquarters of Pakistan’s navy in Islamabad, killing a security officer.
The Associated Press quoted local police as saying the latest attack was on a mosque close to the Pakistani army headquarters.
Police official Waqas Ahmed says gunfire was continuing in the area and at least one explosion was also heard, AP reported.
