Police forces cordoned off the site of the blast with high-security measures and emergency forces reached out to the area and transferred injured people to the hospital.
The second explosion took place in Saifullah Fort. According to the police, the explosion took place outside the election office of Jamiat Ulma e Islam candidate Maulana Abdul Wasi when Abdul Wasi was not present in the office.
