Tragedy Strikes Karachi: Deadly Gas Cylinder Blast Claims Lives

A devastating gas cylinder explosion in Karachi has led to a tragic loss of life, as a residential building collapse resulted in at least 13 fatalities, including women and children. The explosion took place in the Soldier Bazaar neighborhood, a densely populated area in the city's east.

Police official Summaiya Syed confirmed that among the dead were seven children, including a two-year-old. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion, as emergency workers continue to search for potential victims still buried in the rubble.

This incident follows a massive fire at a Karachi mall last month, which claimed the lives of over 70 people, compounding concerns over safety measures in the city.
