The explosive material was planted on a motorcycle parked on Mall Road – main road going to Afghanistan through Chaman. The blast severely damaged a motorcycle rickshaw parked nearby.
Security forces have cordoned off the area and shifted the injured – all passersby - to a hospital for medical treatment. One of the injured is said to be in critical condition.
A security convoy had reportedly passed by the explosion site just a few minutes before the blast.
Earlier on August 7, militants had fastened an improvised explosive device to a motorcycle and parked it near a hotel on the same road. At least 12 people, including two policemen, were wounded in that remote-controlled explosion targeting a police vehicle.
