SSP Investigation Imran Kishwer said that “high-intensity explosives” were at the explosion site.
He also confirmed that an unidentified man placed high-intensity explosives weighing between one and 1.5 kilograms in the area. It is, however, yet to be investigated who he was, according to Samaa TV.
The device was triggered remotely, said Lahore police spokesperson Rana Arif.
Forensic teams are searching the site for ball bearings and other evidence and police officials are trying to obtain footage from Safe City cameras installed in the neighbourhood as well, according to Samaa TV.
