Quetta: A blast close to the Quetta Police Lines area in Pakistan on Sunday left at least five people hurt, media reports said.
Edhi worker Zeeshan Ahmed, who is leading the rescue operation on the site, told Dawn News that the injured persons have been moved to the Civil Hospital, Quetta.
He said police and emergency teams have arrived at the site and the area has been cordoned off.
Police haven’t issued any statement and the nature of the blast is not clear at the moment.
The outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the incident.
The incident happened just days after a blast inside a mosque in Peshawar left at least 100 policemen dead.
