 At least five people –  including three schoolchildren – martyred and several others were injured when a suicide bomber targeted a school bus near Zero Point on the Karachi-Quetta National Highway in Khuzdar on Wednesday.

“The explosive material was planted in a vehicle on the roadside. As the school bus approached, it was detonated remotely,” a senior police official said, adding that an investigation is underway to determine the nature of the device and the perpetrators involved.
