In Turbat, a city in Balochistan, an explosion claimed the lives of four individuals and left 32 others injured. According to the police, the injured were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where the condition of five remains critical.
According to a report by Geo News on Saturday, following the explosion, a significant number of police and security forces reached the site, cordoning off the area. Police confirmed that SSP Serious Crime Wing, Zohaib Mohsin, was among the injured.
Six of his family members, who were passing through the area with him at the time of the explosion, also sustained injuries. Further investigations into the incident are underway, authorities said.
Pakistan has been grappling with terrorism for decades, with attacks targeting civilians, law enforcement, and infrastructure. Despite numerous military operations and efforts to dismantle militant networks, sporadic violence persists, particularly in regions like Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The country’s security forces have conducted successful operations such as Zarb-e-Azb and Radd-ul-Fasaad, significantly reducing the intensity of terrorism, yet the threat remains.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of attacks, particularly in Balochistan and along the Afghanistan border, where extremist groups exploit instability. This has further strained resources and increased the burden on law enforcement agencies, highlighting the need for more comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of militancy.
