A bomb hit a police vehicle in southwest Pakistan and killed at least four people and injured 18 others, mostly pedestrians. The information was released by a government spokesman. The attack took place in Quetta, the provincial capital of Baluchistan. Among the dead were two police officers and two civilians. In separate statements, Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Baluchistan Chief Minister Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo condemned the attack and urged authorities to provide the best possible medical care to the injured.
In a statement, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a party considered illegal, claimed responsibility for the attack.
