Six explosions were reported around the border area between Sindh and Balochistan on Monday. There were three powerful explosions in Gwadar but no casualties were reported. Official sources said that two small bombs exploded near a police station, in a span of ten minutes. A third bomb also exploded near a government official's home. A powerful explosion also occurred in Quetta on Monday night. Police officials said that a locally made bomb was set off at Arbab Barkat Ali Road. No casualties were reported. House windows around the blast site shattered and it also caused a crater in the road. Nobody claimed responsibility for the blast.

Meanwhile, AFP reported that two bomb blasts occurred near Kashmore Colony railway station and damaged a rail track but caused no casualties, said senior railway police officer Shafi Muhammad Mughal. The small bombs exploded on the rail line near the station, on the border with Balochistan, said Mughal, adding that the bombs were low intensity and locally made but they damaged a small portion of the track. No train was passing on the track when the blasts occurred, he said.
