A casualty is taken away
At least six anti-terror policemen were killed and 13 wounded when five explosions ripped through a police training school.
The blasts occurred in the centre's firing range in Quetta city, in southwest Pakistan.
There are conflicting reports from police with some saying the devastation was caused by remote-controlled bombs, while others said landmines were used.
The explosions happened in quick succession when commandoes from the police Anti-Terrorist Force were training.
No one has yet claimed responsibility.
Quetta is the capital of Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan province where tribal militants are fighting for greater autonomy and more benefits from the exploration of oil and gas.
Militants regularly blow up gas pipelines, rail links and power pylons, and launch rocket attacks on Government buildings and army bases.
On Sunday, three landmine blasts in the province killed three people and wounded seven, officials said.
