A powerful explosion rocked the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station on University Road in Peshawar on Sunday, killing one officer and injuring two others, officials confirmed.
According to police, the explosion was caused by explosives kept inside the CTD police station. The blast resulted in a massive fire that quickly engulfed the warehouse area, spreading flames across parts of the building.
City Police Chief (CCPO) Mian Saeed said a section of the police station collapsed due to the impact of the explosion. “One officer lost his life, while two others sustained injuries,” he added.
Rescue teams rush to scene
A heavy contingent of police and rescue teams reached the scene soon after the explosion. Firefighters were seen battling the blaze, while ambulances transported the injured officers to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Eyewitnesses reported thick smoke rising from the police station as rescue workers struggled to control the fire and clear debris from the collapsed structure.
