Suicide Bomb Attack on School Bus in Pakistan’s Balochistan Kills 4 Children, Injures 38

A suicide car bombing targeted a school bus in Khuzdar district, Balochistan, Pakistan, killing at least four children and injuring 38 others, several critically. The bus was transporting children to a military-run school when attacked. No group has claimed responsibility, but suspicion points to the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a designated terrorist group by the US. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attack, calling it barbaric. This bombing follows recent similar attacks in Balochistan, including a deadly passenger train attack in March. While separatists usually target security forces, attacks on schoolchildren, though rare, have occurred in the region before.
