In a devastating incident in southwestern Pakistan, at least ten laborers lost their lives following an explosion targeting their vehicle. The workers were en route to a marketplace in Harnai, a district within the troubled Balochistan province, when an improvised explosive device detonated, according to local officials.
Local authorities confirmed the fatalities, with reports indicating that the death toll may reach eleven, as several individuals sustained critical injuries. The attack occurred in close proximity to the Afghan border, an area known for its ongoing violence and instability.
Harnai is situated approximately 160 kilometers (100 miles) east of Quetta, the provincial capital of Balochistan. The laborers involved in the tragedy primarily hailed from Puran, a village located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
While no group has officially claimed responsibility for the attack, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist organization advocating for independence in the Balochistan region, is known to operate in this area. Historically, the BLA has targeted security personnel and individuals from other provinces, asserting that outsiders are exploiting the region's rich resources while its residents remain impoverished.
In response to the attack, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif reiterated his government's commitment to combatting terrorism across Pakistan. The situation remains tense as authorities initiate investigations into the incident to uncover the perpetrators behind this tragic event.
This incident underscores the ongoing challenges faced in Balochistan, a province that has seen a rise in violence and militant activity in recent years. The local population continues to bear the brunt of such attacks, leading to increased concerns regarding safety and security in the region.
