Authorities have launched an investigation into the bombing, with security forces securing the area and collecting evidence to determine the motive behind the attack. The prime minister has expressed his condolences to the families of the victims and has vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice.

This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing security challenges faced by Pakistan and the region, with previous instances of violence targeting civilians and creating a atmosphere of fear and uncertainty.
