LAHORE: At least six people, including four soldiers, were martyred on Wednesday in what is believed to be a suicide blast targeting a census team on Lahore’s Bedian road.
Eighteen others were also injured in the explosion on Manawala Chowk.
Initial reports suggested the explosion was caused by a cylinder blast. However, sources claimed it was a suicide blast. Punjab government has said the exact nature of blast is yet to be ascertained.
Punjab government spokesperson Malik Ahmed Khan told a private news channel that four soldiers and two civilian bystanders were among the martyred. TV footage showed security personnel blocking off the street around the site of the explosion, close to a market.
A suicide bomber killed at least six people and wounded 18 when he blew himself up near an army vehicle in Lahore, Reuters quoted police officials as saying. The blast hit a vehicle taking part in the country’s census, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the media.
