ALBAWABA - At least four were killed and 12 others were injured in a bomb explosion in the province of Balochistan in southern Pakistan, a security official said Monday, as reported by AFP.

An improvised explosive device (IED) was placed in a parked car in the Killa Abdullah district of Balochistan. "It seems the IED exploded before reaching its intended destination," a local security official, Ghulab Khan, told AFP.

"All those killed are civilian passersby," he further mentioned.

Riaz Khan Dawar, a senior local government official, also told the news outlet that the blast happened near a paramilitary compound on Sunday evening.
