A bomb explosion shook the Akhtarabad Highway in Quetta on a Saturday, causing injuries to four individuals. The incident occurred during Muharram, a significant religious period marked by processions and Majalis.
Authorities, including rescue teams and law enforcement personnel, swiftly responded to the scene of the blast. Balochistan, bordering Afghanistan and Iran, has experienced ongoing insurgency activities over the past decades.
Recent times have witnessed a surge in bombings in the sparsely populated region, prompting renewed efforts by the Pakistani government and armed forces to combat terrorism effectively.
