A devastating explosion occurred in a residential building in Soldier Bazaar, Karachi’s 3 number, resulting in the loss of 16 lives on the night of Eid. According to rescue sources, four children and six women were among the deceased. Fourteen injured individuals were rescued from the rubble and shifted to the hospital. Due to concerns that more people may be trapped under the debris, the rescue operation is ongoing.
The explosion occurred due to a gas leak, according to Deputy Commissioner East Nusrat Nabi Abbasi. The building, which was two-storyed, was severely damaged, and the ground floor collapsed. The narrow streets of the area have made the rescue operation challenging.
The rescue operation is currently underway, and a search operation has been completed. The debris is being removed, and the bodies of the deceased are being identified. DIG East, Dr. Feroz Langah, said that the initial investigation suggests that the explosion was caused by a gas leak. However, a chemical examination will be conducted to confirm the cause of the explosion.
The authorities have assured that an inquiry will be conducted into the incident, and those responsible will be held accountable. The building’s ownership status will be investigated, and action will be taken against those who are found guilty.

A video of the incident has surfaced, showing the moment the building collapsed. The authorities have advised residents to be prepared for strong winds in the next 24 hours.
