According to police, the first explosion occurred when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated on a cement factory bus.
The blast caused severe damage to the vehicle and injured nine people travelling on board, who were immediately shifted to the city hospital for treatment.

Medical Superintendent Dr. Kifayatullah said one of the injured succumbed to injuries upon arrival at the hospital. He added that a woman is also among the wounded, while the condition of several injured persons remains critical.
Following the blast and the arrival of multiple injured victims, hospital authorities declared an emergency to handle the situation. Medical staff were placed on high alert to provide immediate treatment to those injured in the attack.
Second blast hits Abbasa Khattak area
