Massive explosion near Quetta police lines in Pakistan, casualties feared

At least five people were injured in an explosion near the Quetta Police Lines area on Sunday, rescue officials said.

Edhi worker Zeeshan Ahmed, who is leading the rescue operation on the site, told Dawn.com that the injured persons have been moved to the Civil Hospital, Quetta.

He said police and emergency teams have arrived at the site and the area has been cordoned off.

Police haven’t issued any statement and the nature of the blast is not clear at the moment.

The explosion comes days after a ghastly suicide blast in the Peshawar Police Lines area took nearly 80 lives, mostly policemen.
