Naval air base (PNS Mehran), which came under terrorist attack on Sunday night, is located next to Pakistan Air Force Museum (PAF Museum) at main Sharea-e-Faisal. A very large number of people visit this highly impressive museum every day.
Their number increases on Sundays and public holidays. It is one of the very few places in the city of teeming millions where people from all walks of life spend their evenings on the sprawling lush green lawns of this museum.
When the naval air base came under attack, this place was said to be crowded by a very large number of people as usual. However, there was no confirmed report about how people at this public place reacted to the blasts which were followed by gun-fighting at a little distance from them.
