The death toll from an overnight grenade attack on a truck carrying women and children in Karachi rose to 12. Attackers targeted the truck as it shuttled an extended family from a wedding ceremony in a western Karachi neighborhood.

Pakistani investigators examine a truck at the site of an explosion, in Karachi, Pakistan, Saturday, Aug. 14, 2021. Attackers targeted a truck in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, killing multiple people and wounding others. An initial investigation suggests the attackers followed the truck and then threw hand grenades or some sort of improvised explosive devices at one side of the truck, police said.

Dr. Qarar Abbasi at the city’s main Dr. Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital said three of the injured died during treatment, raising the death toll to 12. The rest of the injured were in stable condition. He said seven women and five children were among the dead. Karachi police chief Imran Yaqub Minhas after the incident denounced it as an “act of terrorism” on the country’s Independence Day, celebrated on Saturday.
