Khuzdar (Web Desk): A deadly explosion rocked Balochistan’s Khuzdar district on Wednesday, leaving at least four people dead and five others injured.
According to police, the blast, which occurred in the bustling Naal Bazaar area, was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) planted in a motorcycle.

Local authorities, along with emergency services, quickly responded to the situation, rushing the injured to nearby hospitals in Naal and Khuzdar for treatment. The area was promptly cordoned off to prevent further casualties and secure the scene.
