Pakistan reportedly ranks among the top countries with most number of bomb attack cases.

On an average, the country reports roughly two major bombings per day.

Iain Overton, policy director of the London-based Action on Armed Violence (AOAV) says that the attacks, including the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), has made Pakistan one of the most dangerous places in the world, the Dawn reports.

Overton adds that one of the major problems is the amount of munitions coming from Afghanistan into Pakistan and the spread of extremist views that causes the use of IEDs as a normalized form of weaponry.

Meanwhile, the country has the third highest homemade bomb and suicide blast rate in the world.

 

According to a recently published AOAV report, victims of bombs that detonate in densely populated urban areas are predominantly civilians, the report adds.
