Shia Muslims in the Pakistani city of Quetta are in mourning after gunmen killed nine people at a market.
Reports say that most markets across Quetta are on strike in protest against Thursday's attack, which targeted members of the city's Hazara community.
It marked the start of a day of violence across the city. Later bombs targeted the leader of a major religious party and a security convoy.
Hundreds of Shia Hazaras in Quetta have been killed in attacks in recent years.
Lawyers are also on strike and protests against Thursday's violence are planned.
The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) party has said it will hold a rally to protest against the suicide bombing of its public rally, in which two people were killed.
