Geyser gas leak blast kills two in Quetta

Two people, including a woman, were killed and six injured in a gas leak explosion in Quetta on Sunday.

The man was injured in the blast, but two people in the adjacent house were killed when explosion caused walls to collapse.

Five other members of the family, mostly childen, were injured.

The blast also damaged other houses in the vicinity.
