A car bomb exploded in Qillah Abdullah, Balochistan, on Sunday, resulting in four deaths and at least 20 injuries. The blast damaged local shops and a nearby building housing paramilitary forces. Although no group claimed responsibility, ethnic Baloch separatists, particularly the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), are prime suspects. The BLA, a banned terrorist organization, has escalated attacks in the region and recently appealed for Indian support. Authorities are investigating, and the bombing underscores the persistent insurgency in Balochistan, a province marked by demands for greater autonomy.
The car bomb explosion in Qillah Abdullah, Balochistan, highlights ongoing tensions in the region and the persistent threat from separatist groups like the BLA.
Deputy Commissioner Abdullah Riaz reported that the explosion targeted a market, damaging shops and a paramilitary forces building, resulting in four fatalities and numerous injuries.
Balochistan, a province rife with separatist insurgency, remains a focal point of violence, with the BLA being a significant and deadly actor in the region.
The BLA's recent call for Indian support suggests a possible shift in the dynamics of the insurgency, raising concerns for regional stability amid Indo-Pak tensions.
