Roadside vehicle laden with explosives targeted passenger bus.
Khuzdar: An explosion near the Khori area of Balochistan’s Khuzdar district on the M-8 Motorway resulted in the death of one person and injuries to seven others, confirmed Levies officials on Sunday.
The passenger bus, traveling from Khuzdar to Rawalpindi, passed by a vehicle laden with explosives. The bus was carrying 13 passengers, although it had a capacity of 40.
