A blast caused by an improvised explosive device planted on a motorcycle killed at least four people and left 14 others injured inside a market in Pakistan's restive Balochistan province on Sunday morning, police said.

The blast took place a day after two policemen were killed and another was injured in Balochistan's Khuzdar district when an improvised explosive device (IED) went off while police personnel were patrolling the area.

Barkhan Station House Officer Sajjad Afzal said the injured persons were admitted to a nearby hospital.

Unverified videos making the rounds on social media show volunteers carrying bloodied victims away as a crowd gathers at the purported site of the blast.

Mangled motorcycles and charred vegetables can be seen strewn about on the road.

No terrorist groups have claimed responsibility for the blast.
