Pakistan was torn by two bomb attacks on Friday, June 23.
The first bomb exploded in the city of Quetta, about 60 miles from the Pakistani border with Afghanistan.
The bomb was concealed in a car near the provincial police chief’s headquarters. Seven policemen were reportedly among the casualties.
Several extremist groups have claimed responsibility.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, tried to take credit. Later, ISIS also said it was the responsible party.
The other two bombs ripped through a market in Parachinar, on the Afghan border. Parachinar is a predominantly a Shiite city.
The market was filled with shoppers buying food for iftar, the ceremonial meal with which people break their daily fasts during the holy month of Ramadan.
These blasts left 24 people dead and at least 20 more critically injured.
Police think the second of these two explosions may have been a suicide bomber. Inquiries continue.
Later Friday, a group of gunmen attacked policemen eating at a roadside restaurant near the coastal town of Karachi. Four officers died; the gunmen fled.
