Quetta: At least two people were martyred and three others were injured in a roadside explosion in Balochistan’s Chaghi area on Wednesday, officials said.
According to Levies officials, the explosion occurred when a vehicle was passing by a roadside bomb in Chagai Bazar, located in the Pak-Afghan border area, 60 km from Dalbandin.
Security forces surrounded the area, while the injured were moved to Dalbandin hospital for medical treatment, Levies said.
The latest terrorist attack comes just a few days after more than 60 people died in two separate suicide attacks in Balochistan’s Mastung and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu city.
Pakistan has recently witnessed a significant rise in wave of terrorist attacks across the country.
According to a statistical report released by the independent think tank Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), at least 271 militant attacks took place during the first half of 2023, resulting in the loss of 389 lives and injuring 656 individuals. Terror activities in the country increased by 79% during the period.
