A battle rages between Pakistani forces and suspected militants holed up inside a police station in tribal northwestern Pakistan.
Local television channels show soldiers assisting policemen as they battle the militants, allegedly wearing police uniforms, who stormed the police station in Dera Ismail Khan.
Officials say three policemen were wounded in the attack.
Two of the militants were reportedly wearing explosive vests that they detonated inside the building.
Reporters said they had seen some dead bodies lying on the road after the explosions.
It is not clear if the bodies belong to the attackers.
