The first attack was a suicide attack near the Kacheri gate. The second took place shortly afterwards in which the attacker was stopped from entering the gate.
The attacker lobbed a hand grenade before exploding himself at the main gate of Mardan district courts, DPO Mardan told.
Following the blasts, security forces arrived at the spot and cordoned off the area. An investigation is underway while the injured are being shifted to local hospitals.
The incident occurred a few hours after an attack was foiled in Peshawar’s Christian Colony early Friday morning.

Where ever there is a calamity, Pakistan's chief soldier is always there to comfort the victims, which in reality is the job of the prime minister and the chief minister. General Reheel Sharif was neither elected nor appointed by the people. The prime minister never wastes any time inaugurating opening ceremonies of projects, delighted with himself with another kickback stashed in some secret offshore company.
