An explosion has killed at least eight people and injured more than 30 in southwestern Pakistan. Police suspect it was a suicide bombing.
The blast went off on Monday near district courts in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province.
Police said the explosion badly damaged nearby buildings and parked vehicles.
Local media outlets said the incident occurred when Sunni Muslims were gathering nearby.
No one has claimed responsibility so far. Police are treating the blast as a suicide attack against Sunni Muslims.
At least 14 people were killed in an explosion at a mosque in Quetta last month. The city is close to the border with Afghanistan.
