Suicide blast in Zhob injures four including two children
The person exploded himself as security officials stopped the car.
ZHOB (Dunya News) – A suicide blast near army cantonment in Balochistan‘s Zhob district on Friday injured at least four people including two children.
As per details, a suicide bomber rammed an explosive-laden vehicle into the gate of a military compound, injuring four people.
The intensity of the blast spread fear and panic among residents.
Sources told that Friday prayers were going on in a nearby mosque near the compound at the time of the blast.
Rescue teams reached the scene and shifted the injured to nearby hospital for medical assistance. Security forces have launched a search operation in the area.
Pakistan has been battling an insurgency since 2004 after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan caused fighters to flee across the border, where they began to foment unrest.
More than 27,000 civilians and security personnel have died in attacks since that time.
But overall levels of extremist-linked violence have dropped dramatically last year, with 2015 on course for the fewest deaths since 2007 -- the year the Tehreek-e-Taliban umbrella group was formed.
