At least 30 people have been killed in a bombing at a hospital in south-west Pakistan.
Dozens of other people were injured in the blast, which happened at the main gate of a government-run hospital in Quetta.
The explosion took place shortly after the body of a prominent lawyer killed in a shooting attack was taken to the hospital.
It is not yet known who is behind the killing of the lawyer, Bilal Kasi, who was gunned down on his way to court.
Dozens of lawyers and journalists were inside the hospital when the bomb went off, police official Afzal Khan said.
No-one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
In a statement Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif expressed his "deep grief and anguish over the loss of precious human lives."
He said: "No one will be allowed to disturb peace in the province that has been restored due to countless sacrifices of security forces, police and the people of Baluchistan."
