Police sources said the device was placed in a motorcycle parked outside the restaurant and targeted President Mamnoon Hussain's son's convoy. The president's son, Salman, who remained unhurt, frequently visits a cattle farm in Hub, said sources.
The injured, which include several police officials, were immediately rushed to Hub Hospital for medical treatment. Sources said seven policemen have now been shifted to Karachi's Civil Hospital and are in a stable condition.
According to sources, the blast was so loud it was heard in distant areas of the city. Glass windows of nearby shops were shattered after the explosion as panic spread among local residents.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
