A remote-controlled bomb on a bicycle exploded in Quetta on Tuesday, killing two people and wounding 11 others, police said.

The attack appears to have targeted paramilitary forces that were patrolling the area, according to Mir Zubair Mehmud, a Pakistani police official. The blast wounded three paramilitary members.

"The impact of the blast destroyed at least six cars and blew the glass out of shop windows in the area," Mehmud said.
