Earlier on Thursday morning, a series of loud blasts and bursts of gunfire were heard around the besieged mosque, triggering speculation that Pakistani security forces were trying to storm the mosque. Officials, however, denied any attempts to forcibly enter the facility.
At least 15 explosions stated to be mortar shells rocked the area in central Islamabad around 0440 IST.
