Multiple cylinder blasts rocked the Barkat Market area in Pakistan's Lahore on Tuesday afternoon.

Pakistan's ARY news said that '10 cylinders have exploded so far' and ' at least one person has sustained burn injuries'. According to the report, at least 12 vehicles and multiple shops were damaged in the incident.

The rescue teams reportedly reached the site shortly after the incident. The gas cylinders blew up one by one, which made it difficult for rescue teams to go near the spot.

The area has been cordoned off and efforts are on to douse the blaze.
