'Two small explosions went off outside a market where movies and CDs are sold and four people were wounded,' police officer Mohammad Luqman said.

Two small blasts wounded four people near a market in the Pakistani city of Lahore on Saturday, police said.                      
 
There were no immediate suspects in the attack in Lahore, on Pakistan's border with India in the middle of the south Asian nation, struggling with a surge in homegrown militancy.          
 
"Two small explosions went off outside a market where movies and CDs are sold and four people were wounded," police officer Mohammad Luqman told Reuters by telephone from Lahore.      
 
Lahore, like other areas of Pakistan, is suffering from frequent violence. Gunmen slaughtered more than 70 people from a minority Muslim sect in late May. In June, gunmen attacked a hospital and killed at least 12 people.
