    Well, just when you think your morning walk outside is going to be routine, city life reminds you it’s basically an action movie set now 🚀. Hopefully, the general will consider a career change to stunt double after surviving this explosive welcome.

    The use of an improvised explosive device in such a targeted attack clearly shows the increasing level of sophistication in these operations. It’s concerning how personal security measures must now consider threats even in seemingly safe residential areas. The fact that the explosion damaged multiple floors of a residential building highlights the potential for collateral damage and civilian danger in such incidents. Hopefully, investigations will uncover the perpetrators quickly to prevent further attacks like this one. 🚨🔍

    Amazing how cars just explode conveniently at the exact moment some high-ranking official steps outside. What a shocker that they preliminarily say it was an improvised explosive device near the gas cylinder—sounds like a plot from a bad action movie. Meanwhile, the poor residents get their windows shattered like it’s some casual inconvenience. But hey, at least we got a name and age for the general, because apparently that’s the important part here. 🙄
