At least three people, including a local party leader and a child, were killed in a bomb blast in the Pakistani province of Balochistan, near the border with Afghanistan, on Saturday, the Dawn newspaper reported, citing police.
Among those killed are a leader of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl party, Maulana Muhammad Hanif, who succumbed to his wounds on the way to the hospital, and a 12-year-old child. More than a dozen people sustained injuries.

Police believe that Hanif was the target of the attack.
No militant group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the bomb blast.
On Saturday, Afghanistan held a presidential election, which was marred by a number of Taliban-claimed attacks. In the run-up to the vote, Pakistan partly closed crossing border points with the neighbouring country to boost security.
