Balochistan government spokesperson Shahid Rind condemned the terrorist attacks in Pishin and Noshki, expressing deep sorrow for the loss of innocent lives.

He vowed that those responsible would face no leniency and assured that the injured would receive the best medical care.

This tragic incident follows a similar attack from a month ago, where a bomb targeted a vehicle belonging to the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Khushdil Khan Road in Pishin district. That blast injured a security guard, while the CTD’s station house officer (SHO) was unharmed.

The recent explosion has heightened worries about persistent security issues in the area. In response, local authorities have ramped up vigilance and security measures, and an investigation is underway to identify those responsible.
