Fourteen people, mostly women, were injured after a vehicle crashed into a tent outside an imambargah in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority. Police have taken the driver and two other occupants into custody. The driver claimed the vehicle’s brakes failed, but authorities are investigating all possibilities.

Karachi’s police chief stated that the incident does not initially appear to be an act of terrorism. Sindh’s Chief Minister has ordered a thorough investigation and directed officials to ensure the best possible medical treatment for the injured. The crash caused panic among mourners, which was exacerbated by a bomb scare heard in a video circulating on social media.
