A score of low intensity blasts rocked multiple cities of Sindh on Tuesday evening, killing at least one person while injuring three others including a policeman, Express News reported.

In another incident, unknown men fired near Tower Market, killing a person identified as Muhammad Tufail.

A blast also occurred at Liberty Chowk, although no casualties were reported from there.

In Dadu, hand grenades were thrown at Jail Road, at a bus stop and at Cinema Chowk.
