QUETTA:
At least one person was killed and six others were injured after an explosion in Turbat bazaar on Tuesday.
The city, approximately 700 kilometres from the provincial capital of Quetta, has been frequently targeted by militants.
According to law enforcement agencies, an improvised explosive device (IED) was fitted on a motorcycle. As a result of the explosion, a nearby mechanic shop was completely destroyed by fire.
The deceased and the injured were shifted to District Headquarters Hospital Turbat for medical treatment and formalities.
Following the incident, the provincial chief minister, Jam Kamal Khan, expressed grief at the loss of life and said anti-state elements will not succeed in their nefarious plans.
The chief minister added that certain elements want to derail Balochistan from the path of progress and prosperity, but the people and government will continue on the path and such elements will be defeated.
The province, in recent months, has seen an increase in attacks. Earlier in May, six security forces personnel, including one officer, were martyred when a remote-controlled improvised explosive device (IED) struck their vehicle near Pakistan-Iran border.
The military's media wing said that the incident took place in Kech district's Buleda area in Balochistan, which is about 14 kilometres away from the Iran border
