This is a developing story wait for final casualty count before celebrating - hopefully inshaallah the casualty count will be low- but we should be vigilant in the coming weeks and months. This location is next to two prominent mosques!

A blast has been reported near Memon Mosque in Karachi's Kharadar area, according to footage shown on DawnNewsTV.
As per initial reports, police officials are trying to determine the nature of the blast.
