QUETTA-UNS:Over least 25 people were killed and 53 injured after a suicide blast ripped through a Quetta Railway Station on Saturday, local authorities and hospital officials said.
The incident comes a week after a bomb blast near a girl’s school and a hospital in Balochistan’s Mastung district killed eight people, including five children.
Pakistan, particularly the Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, has seen a sharp uptick in terrorism-related incidents over the past year.
Quetta Division Commissioner Hamza Shafqaat confirmed the death toll, adding that the incident was a suicide blast. The railway authorities were being directed to suspend train services, he said.
