An employee told the BBC he heard an explosion at the SardarDaud hospital’s main gate followed by gunfire.

One doctor said he saw a gunman wearing a medic’s coat pull out a concealed assault rifle and open fire, killing two people.

“I saw a suicide attacker wearing a white coat open fire on me, I jumped from the stairs, then he opened fire on one of my colleagues,” said Abdul Qadir, a doctor who managed to escape.
