Hamdullah received initial treatment at a Mastung hospital and was later shifted to Civil Hospital Quetta along with other injured including party leaders and his security guards. At least three of the injured were in critical condition.

Hamdullah received injuries on his head and arms, but his condition was out of danger. The party leadership decided to shift him to Karachi for treatment after consulting doctors. He was moved to the Aga Khan Hospital in Karachi by a special plane.

The Counter-Terror­ism Department has registered an FIR against unidentified people for the bomb attack. The blast occurred near Hamdullah’s vehicle when he reached the Killi Chotu area, a locality on the outskirts of Mastung, while on his way there from Quetta to address a public meeting.

Police said that at least 11 people, including Hamdullah, were injured in the explosion. There have been no claims of responsibility for the explosion but many JUI-F leaders have been targeted in the past.
