At least fourteen people were injured in a grenade blast on Quetta’s Smagli Road on Wednesday.
According to police, a grenade was thrown at labourers working on an under-construction bridge. Two children are among the injured, they said.
On getting information, heavy contingents of law enforcement agencies and ambulances reached the scene. The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
The law enforcers cordoned off the area and began collecting evidence. A search operation was launched to arrest the culprits.
Last month, four people were injured in a blast on Quetta’s Sariab Road. Some explosive material fitted on a motorcycle had gone off, resulting in injuries to four people.
