A bomb exploded at a rally in Quetta, southwestern Pakistan, killing 11 people and injuring around 30. The event marked the anniversary of nationalist leader Sardar Ataullah Mengal. His son, Sardar Akhtar Mengal, who attended the rally, was unharmed.
The explosion occurred in a parking area as attendees were leaving, and authorities suspect a suicide attack. No group has claimed responsibility. Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, has a history of unrest involving Islamist militants and separatist insurgents. Investigations are ongoing, according to Reuters.
