According to a press release issued by the Pakistan Ordnance Factories Board, the blasts occurred outside two exit gates of the POF about 1440 hours when a large number of workers were leaving the complex.

One of the bombers blew himself up outside the main gate while the second detonated his explosives at almost the same time near another gate, said police officer Sardar Shahbaz. Subsequently, soldiers cordoned off the area and kept reporters back as ambulances arrived to take away the casualties, a witness said. (ANI)
