According to local officials, the victims were working in the field when the device went off. The deceased were identified as Sajjad (18, son of Majeed), Naushad (13, son of Syed Rehman), Fawad (18, son of Dilbar), and Jawad (15, son of Yousaf).

Security personnel reached the site shortly after the blast, cordoned off the area, and launched an investigation to determine the origin of the shell.
