One person was killed and 12 injured in a bomb blast late Thursday in Karachi, police said, just two weeks after a suicide attack by a Pakistan separatist group killed four in the same city, APA reports citing NDTV.

The explosion tore through the Saddar neighbourhood of Pakistan's most populous city at around 11:00 pm (1800 GMT).

"Initial investigation suggested that the explosive material was planted in a motorcycle that was parked near a trash bin," said local police station house officer Sajjad Khan.

The target of the attack was not immediately announced.

However Khan said a coast guard vehicle was among "several" damaged in the blast while the one person slain was a "passerby".
