Several videos of the attack also surfaced online. According to local media outlets, two suicide bombings took place at the Federal Corps Headquarters in Saddar.
One of the suicide bombing reportedly was carried out at the main gate and the other at the motorcycle stand. The gunfight between the gunmen and security personnel is currently underway.
