According to an informed source, one of the two explosions in a terror attack in Iran's southern city of Kerman on Wednesday was the result of a suicide bombing.

The source told IRNA that evidence, including CCTV footage, suggests that the initial explosion was probably caused by a suicide bombing carried out by an individual.

According to the source, an inquiry is ongoing to identify the bomber whose corpse was shredded into bits, and another is underway to investigate the cause of the second bombing.

In the Iranian city of Kerman, more than 100 people were killed, according to reports, in a twin blast on Wednesday that rocked the city as Iranians flooded the streets marching toward the cemetery where Martyred Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, General Qassem Soleimani was laid to rest on the 4th anniversary of his martyrdom.

The initial explosion happened 1.5 kilometers distant from General Soleimani's grave. The second happened 2.7 kilometers apart from the first.

Two explosions took place on two different roads leading up to the cemetery, 10 minutes apart, according to the governor of Kerman.

The attack has garnered international condemnation from neighboring and global nations and has been widely characterized as a "terrorist attack" against the Iranian people.
