So far nearly 30 people have been killed and over 40 injured with a bomb blast in Quetta, provincial capital of Balochistan in Pakistan.

The incident occurred when mourners were taking the body of lawyer Bilal Anwar Kasi, who had been shot and killed earlier today, to the emergency department of a major local hospital.

Video footage shows bodies on the ground among pools of pool and crying survivors comforting each other.
