Police say the blast is believed to be a suicide bombing targeting soldiers, with 14 of the dead being soldiers, and many of the wounded in critical condition.
Baluchistan Liberation Army, an armed Baluchist separatist group, claimed responsibility for the attack and that it had targeted troops.
Baluchistan is a region frequently attacked by armed groups in southern separatists, and a series of attacks have recently taken place against Chinese participants in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Project, which is part of China's Belt and Road Initiative.
