At least 52 killed, 102 injured in blast at Khuzdar shrine
At least 52 people were killed and 102 were injured on Saturday evening in a bombing at the shrine of Shah Norani in Khuzdar district of Balochistan, DawnNews reported.
"52 people have died and dozens injured in the incident," confirmed Balochistan Home Minister Mir Sarfaraz Ahmed Bugti.
Bugti also hinted towards foreign involvement in the attack. It was not confirmed whether the bombing was a suicide attack or a remote detonation.
Security forces reached the spot of the incident and established a cordon around it. Emergency services faced difficulty in reaching the site of the bombing due to its remote location and poor communication infrastructure.
The shrine is also located in hilly terrain, which further added to the difficulties faced by emergency services.
Electricity services were disrupted following the explosion, hampering rescue efforts further. Electric power to the shrine was supplied with generators, DawnNews reported.
