Karachi [Pakistan], August 15 (ANI): A total of 13 people were killed and several others got suffered injuries in a grenade attack in Karachi, Pakistan on Saturday.
The attack took place near Baldia Town's Mawach Goth area at around 9:30 pm, Geo News reported. Using the remnants found from the site of the explosion, local police established that a grenade was used in the attack.
"We cannot concretely say who was behind the attack. It may be a family dispute, which we are trying to ascertain, or it may be an act of terrorism. But unless we have solid evidence, we cannot provide a final verdict on this. It will be premature to say anything at this stage," said Imran Yaqoob, Additional Inspector General of Police.
