A woman died after being burned in a gas leak explosion at a house in Baldia Town. Her husband and son were left injured, while her daughter survived.

The Thursday morning explosion, caused by a gas leak, left a husband, wife, and their son severely burned, while their daughter remained unharmed. The victims were shifted to the Civil Hospital's Burns Ward. The woman, 35-year-old Hina, succumbed to extensive burns during treatment. Her injured husband and son were identified as 40-year-old Rizwan and 15-year-old Shoaib.
