Jeddah - Yasmine El Tohamy - ISLAMABAD: At least 52 people were killed and more than 50 injured on Friday in a suicide attack on a religious gathering to mark the birthday of Prophet Muhammad in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province, health officials and police said.
The explosion took place near a mosque where people were gathering to mark Eid-e-Milad-ul-Nabi, or birthday celebrations of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
“People were to participate in a procession after gathering at Madina Masjid,” the assistant commissioner said in a statement, calling the explosion “of a massive nature.”
Local media reported that a policeman was among those killed, but there was no official confirmation of this.
Station House Officer (SHO) Javed Lehri told media the wounded were being shifted to a medical facility and emergency had been imposed at local hospitals.
Ethnic Baloch guerrillas have been fighting the government for decades, accusing it of exploiting Balochistan’s rich gas and mineral resources. The province has also seen many attacks by the Daesh group.
