Lahore: An explosion took place in a house in Lahore’s Johar Town neighborhood, leaving three dead and injuring 21 people.
According to the report, rescue, police, and bomb disposal teams arrived at the scene in time. According to the reports, witnesses claim that surrounding homes and buildings’ glass windows have been broken. One of the buildings was badly destroyed, and several cars parked near the explosion site were also damaged.
Ten individuals were injured, according to rescue authorities, and were transported to Jinnah Hospital in Lahore by private vehicles and auto-rickshaws. According to them, six of the ten had minor injuries.
The Jinnah Hospital administration has requested that people come forward and give blood for the injured, noting that four wounded individuals have been taken to the hospital for treatment.
