According to initial reports, the sound of the explosion was heard in the early hours of the morning. Local sources stated that after the explosion, those present at the scene were quickly transported to hospitals. The number of injured has reached over 30, and the condition of some of them has been reported as critically serious.

Response to the Incident and Reactions

Local officials have increased security measures in the area following the explosion and have begun investigations into the source and cause of the attack. This incident has significantly heightened concerns about security in Pakistan's border areas and the potential threats posed by extremist groups. Additionally, this explosion serves as a bitter reminder of the ongoing dangers facing the religious community in the country.

In response to this incident, people and social organizations have expressed condolences to the families of the victims and called for more serious measures to ensure security at religious sites.
