Quetta: A blast in Balochistan's Khuzdar city on Monday left 13 people injured, media reports said on Tuesday.

Khuzdar Station House Officer (SHO) Muhammad Jan Sasoli, while confirming the blast, told Dawn.com that the explosive was attached to a motorcycle in the area.

The wounded people were shifted to hospital for treatment.

“The police have reached the area and cordoned it off,” Sasoli told the newspaper.
