A devastating explosion shook Quetta’s Double Road, claiming the lives of at least three people and leaving 21 others injured.
Victims included security personnel, shopkeepers, and bystanders. The blast, which targeted a police van on routine patrol, caused severe injuries to officers inside the vehicle.
Police Surgeon Dr. Ayesha Faiz reported that three people lost their lives, while several injured remain in critical condition. Dr. Abdul Hadi, the Medical Superintendent of Sandeman Hospital, confirmed that four of the victims are in critical condition.
Late last night, armed men blocked a highway, killing five individuals and setting fire to three long-body trailers transporting urea from Gwadar port in the Tajaban area.
Further reports detailed that in the Kalmat area, located between Pasni and Ormara, four passengers were killed after being forcibly removed from a Karachi-bound bus. According to a local administration official, the attackers checked passengers’ ID cards before killing four individuals and abducting three others. The victims were identified as residents of Punjab.
Security forces have since mobilized to the affected areas, launching operations to clear highways and restore order in response to these acts of violence.
