The condemnation came after at least four people injured in two hand grenade explosions which rocked the cities of Turbat and Dera Allah Yar in Balochistan earlier today.
In Tehsil Kech, Turbat district, the blast occurred on Main Road, injuring one person. Meanwhile, in Dera Allah Yar, Jaffarabad district, the explosion took place near Bhathi Pathak in which three people got injured.
According to the reports, one of the blast took place nearby the PML-N election office.
The rescue workers shifted the injured to a nearby hospital for medical care. However, the perpetrators responsible for hurling the hand grenades at both locations managed to escape the scenes before authorities could apprehend them.
