Islamabad, Feb 18 (DPA) A huge blast ripped through a livestock market in Pakistan’s restive tribal region near the Afghan border Thursday, killing at least 10 people and injuring dozens more, officials said.
The bombing took place in the area of Darmela in the Orakzai tribal district when scores of people were at the market. The nature of the explosion has yet to be determined.
“It is a remote area and the information is coming very slow,” said an intelligence official who spoke on condition of anonymity. “For the moment, we can confirm 10 deaths and more than 30 injured.”
