| Burnt out bus from Saturday's attacks |
A police officer was killed in Baluchistan, as he tried to defend a museum, dedicated to Pakistan's founder, from separatists.
After securing the building, the separatists blew it up, destroying the national shrine and museum. The Baluchistan Liberation Army claimed the attack.
Hours later, in Quetta, a bomb struck a bus full of female university students. The bus was engulfed in flames, killing eleven of it's passengers.
Survivors of the explosion and fire were taken to Dolan Medical College, where a bomb exploded in the emergency room department, killing at least four people.
Following that explosion, gunmen burst into the hospital and took shelter on it's roof. From there they exchanged gun fire with police and military forces, until they were overwhelmed.
At least five soldiers were killed fighting the gunmen, who were all killed or captured. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the bus and hospital attacks.
