Three killed, 15 injured in blast in Pakistan
Islamabad/Xinhua: A blast hit a busy road in Pakistan's southwest provincial capital Quetta on Monday evening, leaving three people dead and 15 others injured, local media and rescue officials said.
Rescue personnel told media that they have shifted three bodies and 15 injured to the civil hospital after the blast took place at the Shahra-e-Iqbal Road in the city.
Local media, quoting hospital officials, said that the death toll might further rise as four of the injured are in critical condition.
Several vehicles were also damaged in the blast.
Police and security forces have cordoned off the area while the bomb disposal squad is trying to know the nature of the blast.
However, a police officer told media that he feared that it was a bomb blast because he found some marks of ball bearings on the spot.
