UPDATE: At least 16 people killed in a bomb blast that targeted Pakistan’s Hazara community in southwestern city of Quetta

He said at least eight Shias were among the dead. One paramilitary soldier and seven other people were also killed in the bombing, he said. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

During the early hours trucks arrive with vegetables brought in from outside the city, to be shifted by traders into smaller vehicles and delivered throughout Quetta.Quetta is the capital of Balochistan province, which borders Afghanistan and Iran, and is Pakistan's largest and least populated province, rife with ethnic, sectarian and separatist militancies.

The latest attack came after a lull of at least a year in attacks against Hazaras, though there have been isolated shootings.
