Police say three bomb explosions have killed a man and wounded 18 other people in Balochistan on Friday. Police officer Abdul Hameed Lasi said one of the bombs was rigged to a motorcycle. It exploded in a busy market in the industrial town of Hub, about 355 miles (570 kilometres) south of the provincial capital, Quetta, killing one man and wounding 15.
Lasi added the attack appears to be the work of separatists. Another police official, Abdul Qadoos, said two more bombs ripped through a street in the town of Mach, 30 miles (50 kilometres) east of Quetta, wounding three.
