The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:

I am appalled by the brutal terrorist attack on the Shah Noorani shrine in Pakistan. My thoughts are with the family and friends of those who have been killed and those who have been injured in such a horrific act. The UK strongly condemns this shocking attack and continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with the government and people of Pakistan in the fight against extremism and terrorism.
