LAHORE, Pakistan, March 4 (UPI) -- Two suicide bombers set off explosive vests Tuesday at the Pakistani Naval War College in Lahore, killing at least seven people.

At least 20 people were seriously hurt, with others suffering minor injuries, the Pakistan Tribune reported.

Several vehicles parked in the area were destroyed.

One of the bombers detonated his vest near the entrance and next to parked trucks carrying cylinders of gas, The Washington Post reported. An Interior Ministry spokesman, at a news conference, said that the second bomber got farther into the campus before setting off his vest.

For the past five days, fighters associated with the Taliban have carried out daily attacks.
