WAH CANTT: An accidental explosion in a plant of the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) on Thursday left three dead and two injured, said the Inter-Services Public Relations.
A statement issued by the military's media wing said that the explosion was caused by a technical fault in the affected plant.
The technical emergency response team at the POF — a major firearm, defence contractor, and military corporation headquartered in Wah Cantt — declared site of explosion clear while taking the situation under control, the ISPR said, adding that the injured were shifted to a hospital.
The windows of nearby buildings were shattered by the intensity of the blast, Geo News had earlier reported, citing sources within the police.
Remission of punishments is testament to strength of due process and fairness, says ISPR
