In response to the attack, security forces have secured the area and are conducting thorough scans to detect any additional threats, ensuring the safety of road users.

Additionally, security agencies have launched community awareness campaigns to educate residents on the dangers of unexploded ordnance and preventive measures to enhance public safety.
