Dr Saeed Mirwani, chief executive of Shaheed Nawab Ghous Bakhsh Raisani Memorial Hospital, said dozens were being treated at the facility while more than 20 injured people have been referred to Quetta for medical assistance. 

“The process of moving bodies and injured persons is underway,” the hospital CEO said, adding that 22 were shifted to the Mastung district hospital. 



In the second incident at least four worshippers were martyred while several others sustained injuries after an explosion rocked a mosque during Friday prayers, Samaa TV reported. 

Officials have so far confirmed at least four deaths following the explosion that targeted the mosque.

The explosion occurred during the Friday prayer sermon inside a mosque, which collapsed completely. 

Following the blast, security forces reached the site and cordoned off the area. 

According to the Station House Officer (SHO) of Hangu, the mosque was bustling with around 30 to 40 worshipers at the time of the incident.
