At least 42 were killed and more than 100 wounded.
People going for wudu to recite prayers heard gunshots and the noha khwuan in the truck shouted that the people who were going for wudu should run for their lives.
In those days Ashura had no security.[1] The attack took place in Liaqat Bazaar. Almost all of the victims were Hazara. The incident occurred just after the Karbala Ashura bombings in Iraq.

In Quetta, the Ashura procession starts from Alamdar Road, where the Imambargahs gather from around the city mainly from Hazara Town. The procession moves to Mezan Chowk, where prayers are offered, Matam is performed. The process moves to Liaqat Bazaar and ends on Alamdar Road.
