The blast occurred at the gate of Gul Ahmed Textile Mills in northern Karachi, said the report.

 

According to DAWN NEWS, a bomb was planted in a motorcycle and later detonated, leaving seven people dead and 26 others injured.

 

Another private TV channel Ary One World put the death toll at 9. It said that the explosive device was attached to a fruit cart.

 

The injured have been shifted to hospitals in Karachi, where a state of emergency has been declared.
