When tragedy strikes, Pakistan Army personnel are often among the first responders, reaching affected areas to assist civilians and support emergency operations. The same response was witnessed in Kohat shortly after a powerful bomb blast rocked a mosque located inside the Kohat Police Lines.
Police sources confirmed that at least 16 people, including seven police personnel, were martyred in the explosion, while 57 others sustained injuries. The casualties were still being assessed as authorities continued rescue and emergency response operations.
In the immediate aftermath of the blast, Pakistan Army troops reached the site and joined rescue and relief activities, assisting victims and helping authorities manage the situation.
Security forces and police personnel cordoned off the blast site following the explosion and launched a comprehensive search operation to secure the area and surrounding locations.
Security personnel continued clearance and search efforts at the site, while further details regarding the circumstances of the explosion and the identities of those martyred and injured were awaited.
