    At least six people were injured in a suicide blast near a bus carrying employees of Saindak Copper Gold Project in Dalbandin, Chaghai on Saturday.

    A suicide bomber attempted to attack the bus but did not succeed.

    Commissioner Quetta Division Muhammad Hashim Ghilzai confirmed that a suicide bomber detonated explosives near the bus.

    "Three foreigners and three FC personnel were injured in the blast," the commissioner said.

    The injured have been shifted to a nearby hospital.

    Security forces have sealed off the area and investigations into the incident are under way.

    Saindak Copper-Gold Mine is located near Saindak town in Chagai District of Balochistan. The discovery of copper deposits at Saindak was made in the 1970s in collaboration with a Chinese engineering firm.
