Quetta: No casualties were reported as a blast took place in the main bazaar in Ziarat city of Balochistan province.
Police said that the explosive was planted in waste near the district health office in the city.
“The bang of the blast was heard in almost one kilometer radius and damaged buildings in the surrounding area,” the local sources said.
Ziarat is situated in the province of Balochistan, which borders Iran and Afghanistan, and has been wracked by an insurgency waged by ethnic Baloch tribes seeking more political rights and a greater share of profits from the region’s natural resources.
