6 Dead, 40 Injured in Suicide Bombing in Pakistan

A devastating suicide attack in Turbat, Balochistan, southwestern Pakistan, claimed the lives of six individuals and injured more than 40 others.

The incident targeted a security convoy and has reignited concerns over escalating violence in the region.

Local police reported that the suicide bomber, driving an explosive-laden vehicle, rammed into the last bus of a Border Guards convoy traveling from Karachi to Quetta.

The targeted bus was destroyed, leading to deaths and injuries among personnel. Emergency teams promptly transported the victims to Quetta hospitals for treatment.

The banned separatist group, Baloch Liberation Army, claimed responsibility for the attack through a statement on social media.

Balochistan, a region grappling with a longstanding insurgency, frequently witnesses attacks from separatist groups seeking independence from the central government.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti condemned the attack, reiterating their commitment to combating terrorism in all forms.
