As a result of the incident, about 170 people were also injured, according to police information. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The explosion occurred during prayer. According to law enforcement, the terrorist was a suicide bomber who was stopped at the entrance to the mosque before he could activate the explosive device. However, witnesses claim that the assailant first opened fire on the guards and then detonated a belt with explosives inside the temple.
Ambulances arrived at the scene. Emergency services report that the condition of many of the injured is critical, and a state of emergency was declared in one of the hospitals in Islamabad, according to local publication Dawn.
