According to Reuters, an explosion at a mosque in the northwest city of Peshawar on the afternoon of the 30th killed at least 59 people, including 27 policemen, and another 147 were injured, some of them critically. It is reported that the attacked mosque is located in the police headquarters and the compound of the anti-terrorism department in Peshawar, Khyber Pashtun Province, so many casualties are police officers. Peshawar police chief Saddique Khan said, "At that time, the mosque compound was crowded with more than 400 people, and many of the 170 wounded were in critical condition." "We found traces of explosives... This is a suicide explosion," added Ijaz Khan. At present, the police are investigating how the suspect broke through the security cordon to carry out suicide bombing and whether there is any internal assistance. "We don't know what happened, because the explosion was deafening. It rocked me out of the balcony," said Mush Takhan, the policeman injured in the explosion. According to the live pictures broadcast by the television station, a wall of the mosque has been completely destroyed, and dozens of people are trapped in the ruins. The police and residents cooperate to remove the debris at the scene and carry the injured on their shoulders. According to the report, this attack was the most serious attack that the local government has encountered since March 2022. The authorities are currently investigating the attack, and no organization or individual has claimed responsibility for it. Peshawar is located in the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan, and often becomes the target of terrorist organizations. Pakistani Prime Minister Shabaz said the explosion was a "suicide attack". He said, "The terrorists want to create fear by targeting those who perform their duty to defend Pakistan. The whole country and institutions will unite to end terrorism". The United Nations Secretary-General Guterres also issued a statement through a spokesman that day, strongly condemning the explosion at the Peshawar Mosque in Pakistan that day, and hoping that the injured would recover as soon as possible.
