A passenger bus traveling from Khuzdar, Balochistan, to Rawalpindi, Punjab, was targeted in a bomb attack by unknown terrorists, resulting in one death and several injuries.
Reports indicate the explosion occurred on the M-8 highway. Khuzdar Assistant Commissioner Hafiz Kakar confirmed the bombing incident. Levies officials stated that the explosive device was planted in another vehicle.
Security sources reported that one person lost their life, and five others were injured. The injured were shifted to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
It is noteworthy that earlier this month, a similar explosion in the Dhang area of Turbat claimed four lives and injured 32 others.
According to police, SSP Zohaib Mohsin and his family were passing through the area at the time of the blast. The SSP and six family members were among the injured.
In recent years, Pakistan has grappled with a significant resurgence in terrorism, marked by deadly attacks targeting civilians, security forces, and critical infrastructure.
This wave of violence, often attributed to extremist groups such as the TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan), has caused thousands of fatalities and widespread devastation, undermining national stability.
The economic toll has also been severe, as instability discourages foreign investment and stifles economic growth, deepening the challenges faced by the nation.
