Explosion in South Waziristan Mosque Injures JUI Leader and Several Others

South Waziristan was rocked by a powerful explosion on Friday when a blast occurred inside a mosque in the Azam Warsak Bazaar area. The explosion left several people injured, including Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam’s (JUI) district leader, Abdullah Nadeem.

According to police sources, the blast took place inside the mosque during prayer time, causing panic among worshippers. District Police Officer (DPO) Asif Bahadur confirmed that an explosive device had been planted inside the mosque, leading to the blast.

Emergency teams rushed to the scene and shifted the injured to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Authorities fear that the number of casualties could rise as some of the wounded are in critical condition. Security forces cordoned off the area and launched an investigation into the incident.

This attack follows a similar pattern of violence in the region. A few months ago, a suicide bombing at Darul Uloom Haqqania in Nowshera’s Akora Khattak resulted in the death of JUI-S chief Maulana Hamid-ul-Haq and seven others, leaving several injured.

The recent explosion has once again raised concerns about security in religious places, particularly in the tribal areas. No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities suspect militant involvement.

The incident has sparked condemnation from political and religious leaders, who have urged the government to take stringent measures to prevent such attacks in the future. Security forces are continuing their search operations in the area to apprehend those responsible.
