Pakistani police reported that a blast near a mosque in Azam Warsak, South Waziristan, resulted in the death of one person and injuries to six others. Among the injured was Maulana Shahzada Khan Turabi, the mosque’s imam and a senior leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam.
Earlier, a military intelligence-related account on the social media platform X shared a video of the explosion near the mosque, identifying it as a deliberate attack by “Khawarij” targeting the mosque in South Waziristan.
According to the note shared alongside the video, Maulana Shahzada Khan, a senior leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and the mosque’s preacher, was the intended target of the attack.
The account also confirmed the death of at least one person and reported injuries to three others, including Maulana Turabi.
Hospital officials stated that the condition of the injured is critical, with an urgent need for blood donations.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the incident. Various militant factions, including ISIS and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), operate in the area.
The escalation of insecurity and militant attacks in Pakistan has raised alarm, particularly in regions like South Waziristan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where militant factions have intensified their operations.
The resurgence of militant activities has not only endangered lives but also disrupted social and political stability, especially in border areas.
