QUETTA, Nov 20: Two people were killed and eight others injured when three bomb explosions rocked the city on Wednesday evening.

“The blasts took place at brief interval, in the Sarki Road industrial area and the other near Moti Ram Road,” police said. About 2kgs of explosives were used in each blast, an official said.

Abdullah, a rickshaw driver, was killed and his three passengers, a woman and two children, were injured in the explosion in the Sarki Road area near a police station.

About 15 minutes later, the other explosion near the same police station damaged the official vehicle of the SHO.

The third blast took place near a mosque on Moti Ram Road in the heart of the city, triggering panic in the area.

A man named Shahjahan Achakzai was killed and a child and three other people were injured. Several vehicles were damaged.
