Thai PM sends condolences to bereaved families in Pakistan over deadly explosions
Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin sent his condolences on Saturday to the families in Pakistan who lost their loved ones in Friday’s explosions.
According to media reports, two suicide bombings killed more than 50 people and injured dozens of others.
“I am deeply saddened to learn about the tragic explosion and the loss of lives in Mastung City, Pakistan, on September 29. Deepest sympathies and condolences to the government of Pakistan, her people, and bereaved families,” he wrote on his social media account.
According to media reports, suicide bombings at two religious ceremonies in Pakistan killed at least 56 people and injured dozens more on Friday, as worshippers marked the birthday of Prophet Mohammad.
CNN quoted local police as saying that at least 52 people were killed and 50 others wounded by an explosion at a religious procession in southwestern Balochistan province’s Mastung district.
Hours later, a separate blast took place during Friday prayers at a mosque near Peshaway City in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, killing at least four people and injuring 11. The explosion caused the roof of the mosque to collapse, but it was not clear how many people remained inside.
