The victims, three women and two men, were civilians who died of their injuries at a hospital, said Mushtaq Ahmad, a police officer.
The attacks targeted police patrols, the main bus station and a promenade frequented by tourists and lined with hotels and restaurants.
A local news agency, Current News Service, said four Islamic rebel groups had claimed responsibility.
