Faraz Salamat, another Twitter user, wrote, “Third largest city if Pakistan trembles badly and still no news. The Flow of information is joke in this country. City41 reported blast but looks like news has been taken down from all the media stations. This couldn’t be a jet breaking sound barrier. This was huge!”
