QUETTA: Two people were killed when a bomb went off inside a camp of the Oil and Gas Develop­ment Company Ltd (OGDCL) in the Musakhail area on Wednesday, Levies officials said.

“It seems like an improvised explosive device blast,” the officials said. An OGDCL employee and a local, who was working with the company, lost their lives in the incident, they confirmed.

Levies Force personnel reached the site soon after the blast and removed the bodies to the district hospital.

“We are investigating the incident,” they said.
