The overnight attack on a police training academy in Pakistans Quetta city has left 60 cadets besides three militants dead, with 118 injured, making it one of the deadliest strikes in the country this year.

The attack on the Balochistan Police College, 20 km from the province capital, began at around 11:10 PM last night, triggering an operation by Pakistani security forces who rescued hundreds of cadets from the academy.

"44 shaheed 118 inj #QuettaAttack (sic)," Sarfaraz Bugti, home minister of Balochistan province tweeted.

Bugti had earlier told reporters that the attack had been carried out by three terrorists, cycling back on an earlier estimate by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of "five to six terrorists".

At least one person has been killed and two reportedly injured in an explosion in Delhi's Chandni Chowk area on 25 October. The incident has reportedly taken place Naya Bazar area of Chandni Chowk.

Fire tenders have rushed to the spot. Additionally, police have also reached the crowded market to take the stock of the situation. Anti-terror wings are also said to be on the spot.
