In the early hours of August 7, 2015, around 01:00 am, a truck loaded with explosives was detonated on the first street of the Shah-e-Shaheed residential area. The explosion resulted in the deaths of approximately 15 civilians and left over 400 others injured. The blast reportedly intended for a nearby Army station, instead obliterated a residential area, causing extensive harm solely to civilians. Following a week of silence, the Taliban publicly denied any responsibility for the attack. The explosion left a significant impact on the community, highlighting the severe consequences of misdirected violence in conflict zones.
