One person was killed and seven others were injured in a bomb blast at a shopping mall in Pakistan's Balochistan on Saturday. A senior police officer said that the injured included women and children. The condition of some people is critical. 

One person has died in the incident, while seven injured have been taken to the district headquarters hospital, the official said. Further said that the bomb disposal squad has found evidence that a remote-controlled IED was used in the terrorist attack in Awaran district.

In a statement, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo condemned the incident and expressed condolences. Balochistan has been the epicenter of violence this year with several terrorist attacks against civilians, security personnel as well as workers from other provinces.

Last month, 19 suspected militants belonging to the banned insurgent group Baloch Republican Army were killed in two operations by security forces in Hoshab and Kohlu areas of the province.
