The attack in Pakistan happened in a town close to the country’s border with Afghanistan

A powerful blast rocked the Pakistani town of Khar on Sunday, local authorities have said. The explosion, which hit a local Sunni JUI-F party convention, killed at least 39 people and has left over 120 injured, the officials said.

“I can confirm that, in the hospital, we have 39 dead bodies, with 123 wounded [including] 17 patients in a serious condition,” Riaz Anwar, the health minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, told AFP. A large deployment of police has been sent to the blast site, which is now cordoned off, provincial interim information minister Firoz Shah said, adding that the Pakistan Armed Forces have also been sent to the area.

According to Shah, the number of people injured in the blast exceeds 200. Witnesses told news outlet Dawn that more than 500 people had gathered for a convention of the political party JUI-F, which featured a leader’s speech. “As we awaited the arrival of the central leadership, a sudden and loud bang echoed through the venue,” 24-year-old JUI-F supporter Sabeeh Ullah, who was injured in the explosion, told NDTV.

An emergency official told Pakistani media that a local JUI-F Party leader died in the blast. A religious conservative party, JUI-F is part of the current government coalition in Pakistan. The blast was the result of a suicide attack, the provincial police inspector general, Akhtar Hayat Khan, told Geo TV.

Health Minister Anwar also said the incident “was a suicide attack, with the bomber detonating himself in close proximity to the stage.” Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has strongly condemned the attack, vowing to “eliminate” the perpetrators, which he called “enemies of Pakistan.”

The incident came ahead of Pakistani parliamentary elections scheduled for October or November. The nation’s parliament was about to dissolve in the coming weeks, and political parties were preparing for an election campaign.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack as of Sunday evening. According to Pakistani media, a local Islamic State cell had previously targeted the JUI-F party, which it perceives as hypocritical over the party’s support of the Pakistani authorities.

Pakistan has recently seen a sharp increase in terrorist activities. According to a June report by a local think tank, the Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies, the first six months of 2023 saw an “alarming” rise in terror and suicide attacks, which claimed the lives of almost 400 people.

In one of the most high-profile attacks, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a mosque inside a police compound in the city of Peshawar, killing more than 80 police officers.
