The bomber attacked the Imambargah just as Maghrib prayers were under way, medics at a state-run hospital in the area told The Express Tribune.
According to eyewitnesses, the suicide bomber was a teenager. They said he was clad in a burka when he entered the place of worship. According to sources, an examination of the attacker’s remains suggested he was not a local.
