The blast occurred near a mosque in Balochistan province where people had gathered for a procession to mark Muhammad’s birthday, a public holiday, Munir Ahmed added.
According to Reuters, Pakistan has seen a resurgence in attacks by Islamic militants since last year, when a ceasefire between the government and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an organization of several hard-line Sunni Islamic groups, ended. .
The TTP denies carrying out the attack.
