NUSHKI: At least seven people were killed and 35 injured in a blast near a passenger bus on Nushki-Dalbandin highway as violence-hit Balochistan records another tragic incident today (Sunday).
However, authorities have not yet confirmed the nature of the blast or its cause.
Police said that the injured were immediately shifted to Nushki Hospital soon after the explosion. Two of the victims are critically injured, they added.
According to the hospital administration, an emergency has been declared at Mir Gul Khan Naseer Teaching Hospital to handle the situation. Security forces have cordoned off the area, and investigations are underway.
The incident comes days after a major terrorist attack in the Mushqaf area of the Bolan district in Balochistan, along with Khybe Pakhtunkhwa, faced the brunt of terrorist attacks — with both provinces accounting for over 96% of terrorist attacks and deaths in Pakistan in 2024 as per a Global Terrorism Index 2025 report.
