PESHAWAR: Twelve people were killed and more than 50 wounded in a bomb attack targeting a police headquarters in Kohat on Tuesday, police said.“It was a big explosion. I am on site and can see the smoke. Several people have been wounded,” senior police official Dilawar Bangash told AFP.
Police said a nearby police residential complex had also been severely damaged and houses had collapsed, trapping several people in the rubble.
Police said it was a bomb blast but they were investigating whether a suicide bomber had targeted the area or someone had planted a bomb.
“It was a bomb blast but I can't say (more) about the nature of the bomb, as our focus is to rescue people,” Khalid Khan, the top administrative official in Kohat, told AFP.
