Islamabad, Sep 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) Eight people were injured in an explosion inside a police station in Pakistan's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, rescuers said.
The accident happened in the Swabi district of the province where a fire broke out before the explosion, severely damaging a room in the police station and reducing it to rubble, Bilal Faizi, spokesperson of the state-owned rescue organisation Rescue 1122, told Xinhua news agency.
He said that the fire erupted inside the room where explosive materials, recovered from terrorists during separate operations, were stored.
