Rockets fired by suspected insurgents Saturday killed two people and wounded 20 others in Quetta, police and hospital officials said. One rocket which landed at a busy market killed a 17-year-old boy and wounded 18 others, police said. One of the injured died later in hospital.
"A boy was killed on the spot and one of the wounded, a man, died at hospital," senior police official Mohammad Zubair told AFP. A second rocket landed about a kilometre away in a Christian neighbourhood and wounded three family members. Hospital official Rasheed Jamali confirmed the casualties. Zubair said nobody had immediately claimed responsibility for firing the rockets but in the past separatists have carried out similar attacks.
