QUETTA: Four persons, including two children, were injured when a hand-grenade went off inside a house in the Kuchlak town on Monday.

Police said the children found the grenade outside their house in the Kalli Landi area of Kuchlak, some 25 kilometres from Quetta, and brought it home. It went off when they hit it with a hard object.

The injured — Dilawar Khan, Khair Muhammad, Bibi Malala and Rangina Bibi — were taken to the local government-run hospital for treatment. They were said to be in stable condition.
