Four children were killed and three other people were injured Saturday in an explosion at a Pakistani village near the town of Chaman close to the Afghan border, local officials said. 

Several children were playing with an object, presumably an abandoned grenade or some other device, which exploded, they said. 

Police said three children died on the spot and another expired from injuries on the way to hospital -- QUETTA (AFP)
