QUETTA: After an early morning bomb blast targeted at a university bus that killed four students, another bomb exploded at Quetta’s Sariab road. Four men received injuries in that, DawnNews reported on Monday.

The explosive material was placed at the side of the road. Four pedestrians, including a child, were injured by the blast, police sources said.

Injured have been taken to the civil hospital of the city.

Police have cordoned off the area and started investigations of the incident.

Two people were shot dead in the same area after the blast which created a panic–like situation in the area.

Earlier today, a car bomb tore into a university bus in Pakistan’s insurgency-torn southwest, killing four people and wounding more than 40 others, mostly Shia students, police said.
