"The attack claimed the life of a 51-year-old stall seller, while a 39-year-old resident, who was working at the market, sustained mine-blast trauma and shrapnel wounds and was hospitalized," the statement said.

In addition to the casualties, residential buildings, commercial establishments, vehicles, and critical infrastructure—including power and gas supply lines—suffered damage in the affected areas.
