At least 10 killed with an explosion of a bomb in Pakistan Balochistan | The news of the armed groups
Officials said an improvised explosive device hit a vehicle worn by coal miners in the southwest of the country.
At least 10 people were killed and the others wounded after a bomb hit a vehicle carried by workers in the southwestern Pakistan.
A makeshift explosive device (IED) hit a truck when he traveled in the Harnai area in Balochistan Province on Friday, local officials said.
Security forces have fought for decades of rebellion of separatist groups in impoverished Balokistan, and violence in the border regions has increased in the last three years.
“Ten mines of workers were killed in an attack in Harnai County,” said Shahzad Zahri, a senior government official, for the AFP news agency.
Officials said the vehicle carries coal miners and that most of the victims from the northwestern Valley of Swat and other areas in the northwestern valley of the Earth.
“A makeshift explosive device that exploded when trucks for truck trucks reached the site,” a paramilitary official told Reuters news agency. The clerk, who refused to be identified, added that it might be a remotely controlled device.
Local administration official Saleem Tareen also said AFP that the explosion was caused by IED, saying that the victims were on the road to the market when the bomb hit.
The deputy commissioner of the region, Hazet Wali Aghha, told Reuters that 17 miners were in a truck when the bomb extinguished.
Several people were injured and taken to a local hospital. The doctor at the institution told Reuters that two were wounded in a critical state.
Harnai is more than 160 km (100 miles) from Quette, Balochistan’s capital.
In a statement, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif confirmed his “commitment to active work on eradicating the threat of terrorism from the country.”
No group took responsibility for the attack.
However, the Balochistan Liberation Army (Bla) is the most active group in the region and often performs deadly attacks on security forces or Pakistans from other provinces.
The group also aimed for energy projects with foreign funding, accusing the outsiders of exploiting a region rich in resources, at the same time excluding residents in the poorest part of Pakistan.
Earlier this month, a vehicle that carried troops in the city in Balokistan came under the fire from 70 to 80 attackers who blocked the road.
In the second attack in January, at least six people, including Pakistani paramilitary troops, were killed and dozens of injured in bombing.
Both attacks were claimed by Bla.
Last year, in one of the most deadly attacks in the region, according to analysts, blah separatist fighters killed at least 39 people in “coordinated” attacks that have largely targeting ethnic Punjabisa.
Violence has increased in the border regions of Pakistan since the Afghan Talibani returned to power in Kabul 2021.
Pakistan accused the Taliban government of failing to remove fighters who started attacks from Afghan soil, which the accusation denied.
Last year, he was the most dead in a decade for Pakistan, with an increase in attacks that killed at least 1,500 people, including 685 police or security forces, according to the Center for Research and Security Studies, an analysis group based in Islamabad.
