At least 5 people were killed in a bomb attack on a school bus in Pakistan's Baluchistan region. Among the dead are 3 children. BBC reports that at least 38 people were injured in the attack.
According to the local police, around 7:40 a.m. on Wednesday morning, there were about 40 students in the bus when the bus exploded in the remote town of Khuzdar. Photos spread on social media showed the wreckage of the bus burnt after the explosion. School bags are scattered around the bus. No group has claimed responsibility for the
ing incident. The restive province of Balochistan in the south-western region of Pakistan has long been plagued by insurgency and human rights violations.
Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the incident and called it "complete barbarism". He called the attackers "animals that target children to destabilize the country".
The Pakistani army has accused Baloch rebels in neighboring India and Balochistan of a planned attack by Nike. However, it has not been confirmed. Tensions between India and Pakistan came to a halt just a few days ago after the April 22 terrorist attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir.
India accused Pakistan of involvement in the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people. But it was rejected by Pakistan. But after India attacked various places in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir in response, the two countries reached a state of war.
At the beginning of March, about 21 civilians and 4 soldiers were killed in a train hijacking incident in the remote Sibi district of Balochistan. That attack was carried out by a separatist group called the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). The group has been waging an armed insurgency for the independence of Balochistan for decades.
In addition to Pakistan, many western countries including America and Britain have declared BLA as a terrorist organization. Earlier Pakistan Army had linked BLA with India . But the said claim has been rejected by BLA .
Baloch activists have accused Pakistani security forces of atrocities on them. In the last two decades, hundreds of ethnic Balochs have lost their lives in the action of Pakistani security forces. Thousands are said to have been detained, kidnapped, tortured and killed without due process of law.
