Quetta (November 21, 2018): At least 10 persons sustained injuries in an explosion has taken place at a mosque in Balochistan’s Chaman area.
At least 10 people, including the mosque’s prayer leader, have been injured as a result of the blast, which rocked the entire neighbourhood, police officials say.
The explosion was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) hidden inside the mosque, police sources said.
The blast was so powerful that it was heard far and wide.
The injured were rushed to Civil Hospital Chaman for medical treatment where a state of emergency was imposed to treat the injured.
Police, Levies and Frontier Corps officials cordoned off the site of the explosion. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast so far.
Chaman is considered a sensitive town in Balochistan as it shares a border with Afghanistan’s volatile Kandahar province.
