Canada Global (Web News) At least two people were killed and four others injured in a blast in the Dasht area of Turbat, Balochistan, according to police reports on Wednesday.
The blast, caused by an improvised explosive device (IED), also damaged a vehicle.
Police said the bodies and the injured were taken to a hospital.
Law enforcement officials provided further details, stating that the remote-controlled explosion occurred while the victims were traveling in a vehicle.
The deceased have been identified as Zaman and Umer Zahoor, while the injured include Naeem, Javed, Ameen, and Waheed.
This incident occurs amid a rise in terrorist attacks in the country, with Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa being the most affected regions.
Earlier this month, a bomb explosion behind a Levies station in Killa Abdullah resulted in two deaths. According to Assistant Commissioner Shehak Baloch, the victims were carrying the bomb to attack the station, but it exploded before reaching the target, killing both individuals.
November also saw violence in the province, including an IED blast during an operation in Harnai that martyred two soldiers. The fallen soldiers were Major Muhammad Haseeb and Havildar Noor Ahmed.
Additionally, at least 27 people, including security personnel, were killed, and 62 others were injured in a suicide attack at the Quetta railway station.
The increase in terrorist activities aligns with the return of the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
A report by the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS) showed a sharp increase in fatalities during the third quarter of 2024 (July-September), with a 90% rise in violence, leading to 722 deaths and 615 injuries across 328 incidents.
