The Quetta DIGP also confirmed that the blast was a suicide bomb attack as they retrieved the remains of a suicide bomber from the spot.

    "The explosion took place near the police truck due to the impact (of the blast); the vehicle—which was on its way to provide security to police workers—toppled and fell into a ditch," Mahesar told Dawn. He further added: "Looking at the crime scene and given that the truck toppled, it is estimated that 25 kilograms of explosives were used (in the blast)."
