In a concerning incident earlier today, an explosion rocked the vicinity of Quetta, leaving several individuals injured. Quetta Civil Hospital’s spokesperson, Dr. Waseem Baig, confirmed that the injured victims, including a woman and two police officials, have been transported to the hospital for medical treatment.
Dr. Baig assured the public that the injured individuals are currently receiving medical attention and are reported to be “out of danger.” Authorities are working diligently to ensure their full recovery.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Operations, Captain (retired) Zohaib Mohsin, the incident began with an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement officers and unidentified miscreants. Subsequently, the assailants threw a hand grenade before fleeing the scene, leaving confusion and panic in their wake.
SSP Mohsin visited the site of the incident to assess the situation firsthand and gather information. He sought a briefing from the station house officer of the relevant police station to better understand the sequence of events.
The SSP highlighted the current security situation in the city, mentioning that security measures have been heightened in anticipation of Independence Day celebrations. He emphasized that plainclothes police officers have been deployed throughout the city to enhance surveillance efforts and maintain law and order.
This incident follows closely on the heels of another tragic event in Balochistan’s Panjgur district, where an explosion claimed the lives of at least seven individuals, including a recently elected Union Council chairman. Mohammad Ishaq, the Balgatar UC chairman, and six others were killed when a roadside bomb targeted their vehicle at Chakar Bazaar. Home Minister Mir Ziaullah Langove confirmed that a “powerful landmine” was used in this attack.
The vehicle sustained extensive damage due to the blast, and all seven occupants tragically lost their lives on the spot. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the security challenges faced in the region and the importance of ongoing efforts to ensure the safety of citizens.
Authorities are actively investigating both incidents to identify those responsible and prevent further such acts of violence. The local community remains on edge as law enforcement agencies work diligently to maintain peace and security.
