Bomb Blast in Balochistan Kills Two Children

A roadside bomb explosion in Pishin, Balochistan, Pakistan, on August 24, 2024, killed two children and injured at least 15 others, including policemen. The bomb was reportedly planted on a motorcycle and detonated remotely, with the incident occurring near a police office. Authorities suspect that separatist groups, who have intensified their attacks on security forces and civilians, may be responsible, although no group has claimed responsibility yet. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attack, expressing sorrow for the victims and reaffirming the government's commitment to combat terrorism. This incident is part of a broader pattern of violence in Balochistan, a region plagued by a long-standing insurgency. The wounded are receiving medical attention, with several reported to be in critical condition.
