Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Saturday said all challenges will be overcome by staying united and steadfast as a nation, while wishing the country on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR). 

"Pak Army stands shoulder to shoulder with victims of terrorism and fire," the ISPR quoted the army chief as saying. 

The statement added that General Bajwa shares the "grief of fellow Pakistanis on Eid".

Earlier today, at least 152 people were burnt to death and scores injured after an oil tanker caught fire in Bahawalpur's Ahmedpur East town.

More than 117 people were injured in the incident.

Dozens of people were killed on June 23 when bombs exploded in Quetta and Parachinar. In a separate gun attack, four policemen were martyred in Karachi on the same day.
