He said there did not appear to be a target, adding: “The purpose was to trigger panic and terror.” There was no immediate claim of responsibility.Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the blast in Quetta.
According to a PM House statement, the prime minister prayed for forgiveness of the departed souls and commiserated with the bereaved families. He directed the authorities concerned to provide special medical care to the injured.
