A blast occurred in Peshawar's residential Hayatabad area on Friday. Eyewitnesses told that the blast was heard in front of the city’s popular Swan restaurant. The front wall of the restaurant was damaged as a result and car parts littered the scene suggesting that it was a car bomb blast. Security forces have cordoned off the area and the press is not allowed at the site of the incident. Police say at least eight have been injured in the blast. Four of the injured were shifted to the Hayatabad Medical Complex. Their condition is currently unknown. The official casualty toll is currently unavailable. Hayatabad Medical Complex has declared a medical emergency and called in all of its doctors and dispatched ambulances to the scene. Since the blast occurred on the city’s outskirts, only the Hayatabad Medical Complex’s ambulances will be able to reach the wounded first. Security has been on high alert in the city. In addition to the police, FC and elite troops are also patrolling the city.
