Lahore: Several people have reportedly been injured as a loud explosion was heard at Quetta’s Zarghon Road near a private hospital in Pakistan today.

Rescue teams have reached the scene and the injured are being shifted to a nearby hospital and security forces are on the scene and collecting evidence.
Meanwhile, the police are still trying to confirm the source and nature of the blast.
