Seven people of a family were killed after the fire erupted in a village on the outskirts of Toba Tek Singh district of the country's eastern Punjab province, Xinhua reported citing sources.

Separately, five people were injured after a blast hit a house in Pakistan's southwestern city of Quetta, Xinhua reported.
