Eyewitness Khadim Hussain said he was inside the mosque when he heard gunshots followed by a loud explosion that shattered the windows and front canopy of the mosque. Another individuals at the mosque said that the attacker shot at the guards posted at the entrance of the complex before entering the building where the explosives were detonated. After the first attacker detonated his bomb, the two other militants escaped, and police have launched a search operation to find them. According to Khan, 15 people were killed and many more wounded.
Zawar Hussain, who was inside the mosque when the militants attacked, said their firing created an uproar among the nearly 300 worshippers inside. "After the blast, I feel down," Hussain said. "I saw bodies and badly injured worshippers everywhere." Video footage has been captured, showing "blood spattered on the floor and walls of the mosque. Broken glass littered the floor, and there were holes in the walls and celing caused by ball bearings packed in with the bomber's explosives to cause maximum damage and casualties."
