At least two children died, and 14 others were injured in an explosion on Saturday near a police line in Pishin, Balochistan, according to police officials.
According to a media report, the injured, including policemen, are being taken to the hospital, with some in critical condition, said the law enforcement agency.

The first attack claimed the lives of at least 14 people and injured 25 others after an explosion occurred outside an independent candidate’s office in Balochistan’s Pishin, while the second blast took place outside the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) office in the Killa Saifullah district.
The Pishin blast occurred outside the political office of independent candidate Asfand Yar Khan Kakar in the Khanozai area.
