Yasir Arafat, a member of the NCP’s sub-committee on media, publicity, and branding, shared this information in a press release issued late Thursday night (October 15).
The statement notes that around 12:30 AM, several miscreants on motorcycles arrived in front of the NCP’s central office, threw three crude bombs onto the road, and quickly fled the scene.
One of the bombs exploded with a loud bang, while the other two failed to detonate.
Upon receiving the report, police arrived at the scene and neutralized the two unexploded bombs.
It is not yet clear who was responsible for the incident or what the motive behind it might have been.
