Two children killed in Bolan blast

F.P. Report

QUETTA: Two children — aged 10 and 12 years — were killed in a roadside bomb blast in the Bolan district of Balochistan on Saturday, police officials confirmed.

The roadside bomb went off in the Mach area of Bolan, the officials noted, leaving two children dead including 10-year-old Babar and 12-year-old Ahmed Jan. The powerful explosion occurred near shops located behind a police station on Jail Road in Bolan’s Mach area, they added, with no group taking responsibility of the attack so far.

According to police, the explosive material was installed on a handcart. The glass windows of nearby buildings shattered due to the intensity of the blast. Police shifted the bodies of the deceased children to the civil hospital and summoned the bomb disposal squad (BDS) for collecting more evidence.
