Rawalpindi, Jun 24 (IBNS): At least 10 people were injured in a massive blast which occurred at a military hospital here on Sunday, Pakistani Twitter users claimed.

According to reports, a human rights worker from Quetta, Ahsan Ullah MiaKhail, has alleged that the army is not allowing the media to cover the incident.
