At least eight people have been killed in a car bomb attack near the Danish embassy in the Pakistani capital Islamabad, according to reports.
More than a dozen people were wounded. An embassy worker was among the dead and three were hurt, but no Danish citizens died, Danish officials said.
The embassy building and several vehicles outside were damaged.
It was not clear who carried out the attack, as Pakistan's main militant group recently declared a ceasefire.
Pakistan's top Taleban warlord Baitullah Mehsud is in peace talks with the authorities in an attempt to end fighting in the country's north-west.

Some Danish embassies around the world have been threatened since a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad was reprinted in Danish newspapers in February.
The cartoons, deemed offensive to Islam, led to worldwide protests when they were first printed in September 2005.
The BBC's Barbara Plett in Islamabad says suspicion for the attack has fallen on al-Qaeda, as the network's number two Ayman al-Zawahri denounced the cartoons in a recent video.
Denmark also has 700 troops fighting the Taleban in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller said the attack was "totally unacceptable".
