CHAMAN – At least eight people, including security forces, were injured after two explosions in Chaman, capital of Qilla Abdullah Districts in Balochistan, on Monday.
Media reports say the blasts took place on Mall Road in the city, which is situated just south of the Wesh-Chaman border crossing with the neighbouring Kandahar province of Afghanistan.
The first blast took place after explosive material concealed under a heap of gravel exploded, while the other explosion occurred when people gathered around the site.
Security officials have cordoned off the area and nature of the blasts is yet to be determined.
Injured have been shifted to the hospital for medical treatment.
