Update: We're getting confirmed reports that five people have been killed and 12 are injured in a blast that took place around 11:00AM in Quetta's NA-260 constituency.

Injured have been shifted to Quetta's Civil Hospital.

A police van was targeted in the attack. Our correspondent, Ali Shah, says the attack seems part of a larger pattern of attacks targeting security forces vehicles and not targeting the electoral process.
