Quetta Deputy Inspector General Ghulam Azfar Mahesar said that the explosion was a suicide attack after the police found remains of the suicide bomber near the incident site, as cited by the Geo broadcaster.
The report also said that about 20 policemen and four civilians were injured, including a child and a police officer.
