Toy bomb kills child in Quetta

A toy bomb killed a child and injured another in Quetta on Friday, police said.

The device went off as a child touched at Akhtar Abad, an area in the outskirts of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan.

One child died at the scene and another was injured. He was taken to a nearby hospital.

Police said the toy-bomb was placed at a garbage drum by unidentified persons, police said. Motives behind the incident are unclear.

The police described the incident as an act of terrorism to target innocent people.

Balochistan is in the grip of target killings and bomb attacks for years. The law enforcement institutions have not yet succeeded to eliminate terror network in the province.

Militants and sectarian groups are mainly blamed for attacks.
