Quetta - At least 2 policemen were killed and 8 others injured in an explosion near Quetta's Serena Hotel.
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the two attacks in Quetta on Sunday.
On Sunday, unidentified attackers lobbed a hand grenade at a stall selling Pakistani flags ahead of the country's upcoming independence day on August 14. The stall owner was injured in the attack.
"BLA has claimed responsibility for twin attacks in #Quetta today. They say both were targeted attacks. #BLA has warned people from celebrating Independence Day in Balochistan," said Suhaib Zuberi on twitter.
At least two policemen were killed and eight others injured in an explosion near Quetta's Serena Hotel, a luxury hotel, on Sunday evening.
Pakistan media reports said four passers-by were also wounded in the blast that targeted a police mobile near Tanzeem Chowk, Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani said in a statement.
He said the bomb was fitted into a motorcycle. The injured were shifted to A hospital, where emergency was imposed.
