KHUZDAR: A devastating blast struck a school bus near Zero Point in Khuzdar on Wednesday, claiming the lives of four children and leaving dozens injured, according to officials.
According to Deputy Commissioner Khuzdar, four children lost their lives while 35 others sustained injuries in the blast.
The injured have been moved to CMH Khuzdar for treatment, while authorities have cordoned off the area to collect evidence from the scene.
