In a tragic incident in Pakistan's Sindh province, eight people, including four children, were killed on Wednesday after a rocket launcher shell exploded while children were playing with it, local police said.
According to Kashmore-Kandhkot Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rohil Khosa, the deceased were from the same family.
He further stated that the children found the shell while they were playing on the ground and brought it home, where it exploded.
Sindh State Chief Justice Maqbool Baqar expressed grief over the deaths and has asked the provincial inspector general to submit a report on how a rocket launcher shell had reached the village.
“Was any stock of weapons being smuggled to the areas? Are there enablers of the dacoits present in the village?” he asked.
