Explosion took place in Balochistan province at gathering to celebrate birthday of prophet Muhammad
At least 52 people have been killed and more than 50 injured in a suicide attack at a religious political party’s gathering to mark the birthday of the prophet Mohammed in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province, health officials and police said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast, which comes amid a surge in the number of attacks claimed by militant groups in the west of the country, raising the stakes for security forces before national elections scheduled for January next year.
