A suicide bomber has killed at least 128 people at a campaign rally in south-western Pakistan – the deadliest attack in the country since 2014.
A local candidate was among the dead in the Mastung town, police say. So-called Islamic State (IS) claimed the attack.
Earlier, a bomb attack on a similar rally in the northern town of Bannu killed four people. The attacks come ahead of general elections on 25 July.
Meanwhile, former PM Nawaz Sharif was arrested after flying home from the UK.
Sharif and his daughter Maryam were taken into custody by officials from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) after landing in the northern city of Lahore. They were then put on a chartered plane bound for Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.
They were later transferred to a local prison.
The three-term PM was ousted last year after a corruption investigation. Last week he was sentenced in absentia to 10 years in prison.
He has accused Pakistan’s powerful security establishment of conspiring against him ahead of the elections.
