QUETTA, May 6: A powerful bomb blast damaged a wall of a police station in Gwadar on Saturday night. Another explosion occurred in a bungalow in the Quetta cantonment area.

The blast damaged a 40-foot-long portion of the wall. A police vehicle parked close to the wall was also damaged.

“It was a homemade bomb with a timer,” a senior police officer of Gwadar said.

The second explosion occurred in the bungalow on the Abbas Road, close to the State Bank building in the Quetta cantonment.

The bungalow belongs to Asadullah Khan Mandokhel, owner of a leading construction company of the country.

Miscreants hurled some explosive device from the roadside which exploded in the lawns of the bungalow, smashing the glasses of a car. However, no casualty was reported.
