At least 11 people were killed while 40 others injured as a suicide bomber struck a bus near a nursery at Shara-e-Faisal, Karachi.
CCPO Karachi Waseem Ahmed told the reporters that the explosion occurred when a motorcyclist rammed his explosive-laden vehicle into a bus carrying the mourners.
Resultantly, a man died while several others injured. The explosion was so powerful that it was heard many kilometers away from the site; clouds of smoke engulfed the area. Law enforcement agencies cordoned off the area, while rescue efforts were also kicked off and the injured were being shifted to the hospitals. Meanwhile, the President and Prime Minister strongly condemned the nasty terrorist activity and issued directives to provide best possible treatment to the injured. Interior Minister Zulfiqar Mirza sought blast report from CCPO Karachi.
