2019-01-30
[DAWN] Six members of a family were killed in a "mortar shell" blast inside their residence in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu district on Tuesday evening.

According to District Police Officer Bannu Yasir Afridi, the kaboom took place inside a room of the house situated within the limits of Haved cop shoppe.

It occurred when a 60-millimetre mortar shell went kaboom! inside the house, according to KP police spokesperson Waqar Khan.

As a result, a man ‐ who was a teacher ‐ his wife and their four children were killed.

The spokesperson said it had been confirmed that the blast was caused by some sort of an artillery shell. Police cannot say at this point exactly what type of shell it was and whether it was lying inside the house or came from the outside, the official told DawnNewsTV.

However,

he added that police have collected all evidence which will be examined in the laboratory to determine the nature of the kaboom.

DPO Afridi had earlier said a bomb disposal squad was at the site of the incident and that an investigation into the incident was underway.
