An explosion shook the vicinity of Pakistan's Election Commission office in Karachi, just days before the scheduled Parliamentary elections on February 8. According to local media, the blast, which occurred on Friday, caused no casualties. Initial reports suggested that the explosive materials were concealed in a shopping bag near the poll panel's office. Karachi Police dispatched a bomb disposal squad to the site as investigations continue to determine the nature and motive behind the explosion. The incident adds to the security concerns as Pakistan grapples with multiple bomb and grenade attacks, particularly in the restive Balochistan province, ahead of the polls.
