KHUZDAR: Two people were seriously injured in a bomb explosion in the Naal area of Khuzdar district, police said on Sunday.

“Two persons who sustained serious injuries in the blast were moved to Khuzdar district hospital,” the Naal assistant commissioner said, adding that the vehicle was also damaged in the explosion.

He said the IED was detonated with a remote control, but it was not yet clear who was the intended target.
