Karachi, Oct 1 (PTI) The death toll in the two suicide attacks in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces has risen to 65 even as counter-terrorism authorities said they have registered a first information report in connection with the Balochistan blast on Saturday.
A total of 60 people were killed and more than 60 others were injured in a grisly suicide blast on Friday in Balochistan that targeted a procession to celebrate Prophet Muhammad’s birthday near the Madina Masjid at a place called Mastung, an official said.
In the second bomb attack that took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu, targeting a police station’s mosque, five people were killed, and 12 others were injured as the mosque’s roof collapsed in the explosion’s impact, it said.
