Grenade attack in Pakistan injures 30

A grenade attack that happened in Karachi on Wednesday injured 30.

The injured were rushed to the hospital, and it was reported that one of the victims was in a critical condition. “A grenade was lobbed in the rally, causing several casualties,” Karachi police chief Ghulam Nabi Memon told Reuters.

The Sindhu Desh Revolutionary Army claimed responsibility for the attack. They are a separatist force that had reportedly been active since the last few months. They are an outfit that wants the Sindh province of Pakistan to break free from the country as a separate sovereign state. Four people were killed including two soldiers in three consecutive explosions in June by the same group. The Karachi rally, organised by Jamaat-e-Islami was called off after the attack.
