Express News correspondent Abdullah Sheikh reported that the first attack occurred at Koh-i-Noor in Hyderabad where a hand grenade was thrown by unknown men riding a motorcycle.
Further attacks occurred at Haider Chowk, Liberty Chowk, Latifabad No 7 and other areas near police stations.
Similar attacks were reported from Kotri, Noshero Feroze, Bhit Shah, Matiari and Hala.
There were reports of seven near-simultaneous small intensity blasts in Dadu as well. There were also seven reported blasts in Ranipur area of Sindh.

The sentence seems to be self contradictory. Isn't Injury a casuality?
Coward neighbour should stop testing our patience - every mischief of theirs is being counted and day of their reckoning is near.
I'm waiting for a statement from the wise PTI leader informing us all that these were the result of drones in North Waziristan.
When elephants fight its the grass who suffers. The story of our nation!
@Baji Jee: I will just further add to your statement: "This is our war against ourselves, brace yourself my nation!!!"
