Blast kills one, injures seven in Balochistan's Panjgur

QUETTA: A roadside blast in Balochistan’s Panjgur district left at least one person dead and seven others wounded, officials said on Monday.

“It was an improvised explosive device planted in the motorcycle parked in a busy area of the Panjgur and was detonated through a remote control,” Ghulam Ali, provincial home secretary told AFP.

Bashir Bangulzai, the commissioner of Makran region of which Panjgur is a part, confirmed the details and said two of those wounded were in critical condition.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

On Sunday, a six-year-old girl and her mother were also killed in the outskirts of Panjgur when the child was playing with a hand grenade found near her house.
