UN Security Council condemns deadly mosque bombing in Pakistan
TRT World and Anadolu Ajansı reported the Council's statement after a suicide attack at a Pakistani mosque, but details of the blast remain unclear.
The United Nations Security Council condemned a deadly suicide bombing at a mosque in Pakistan, according to reports from TRT World and Anadolu Ajansı.
The two outlets reported on Tuesday that the Security Council issued a statement condemning the attack, described by Anadolu Ajansı as a suicide bombing. TRT World carried the same development under the headline "UN Security Council condemns deadly mosque bombing in Pakistan."
Details of the attack (including the location, the number of dead and wounded, and the group responsible) were not included in the versions of the reports available to the Skardu Times desk. Neither outlet published the full text of the Council's statement in the material reviewed.
The Security Council routinely condemns terrorist attacks that cause significant loss of life, and its statement on a bombing inside Pakistan signals international attention to the country's security situation.
Skardu Times has not independently confirmed the statement or the details of the attack. This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
