TEHRAN – At least 35 Pakistani pilgrims have been killed and fifteen others injured after a bus carrying zaireen overturned in Iranian city of Yazd.

Initial reports said the accident occurred due to failure of brakes. Injured passengers have been shifted to near-by hospital for treatment.

Most of the passengers belong to Larkana, Ghotki and other cities of Sindh.

Reports said the crash occurred on August 20 night in the central Iranian province of Yazd, said Mohammad Ali Malekzadeh, a local emergency official, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.

The pilgrims were going to Iraq to commemorate Arbaeen, which marks the 40th day following the martyrdom of Hazarat Imam Hussain.

Pilgrims from across the world gather in Karbala, Iraq to observe the day.
