RAWALPINDI – At least five people, including three children, were martyred and several others sustained injuries when a school bus was targeted by India-backed terrorists in Khuzdar, Balochistan.
ISPR said the cowardly and ghastly attack was planned and orchestrated by terrorist state of India and executed by its proxies in Balochistan.
“After having miserably failed in the battlefield, through these most heinous and cowardly such like acts, Indian proxies have been unleashed to spread terror and unrest in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhawa,” read the statement.
As per the initial reports, three innocent children and two adults have embraced martyrdom and multiple children have sustained injuries.
Having failed in the Operation Bunyanum Marsoos and being hunted by military and law enforcement agencies, these Indian terror proxies are being employed as a state tool by India to foment terrorism in Pakistan against soft targets such as innocent children and civilians.
Use of terrorism as a state policy by Indian political government is abhorent and reflective of their low morality and disregard of basic human norms.
Planners, abettors and executors of this cowardly Indian sponsored attack will be hunted down and brought to justice and heinous face of India will be exposed infront of the entire world.
Pakistan Armed Forces with support of brave Pakistani nation, stand united to uproot Indian sponsored terrorism from Pakistan in its all manifestations, ISPR said.
Meanwhile, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has strongly condemned the bomb blast on a school bus near Zero Point in Khuzdar.
In a statement, the minister expressed deep sorrow and grief over the tragic incident.
“We share the pain of the grieving families and pray for the speedy recovery of the injured,” he said.
Mohsin Naqvi called the attackers “barbaric” and said they deserve no mercy.
“The enemy has shown extreme cruelty by targeting innocent children. This is a shameful attempt to destabilize the country,” he added.
He further said that the entire nation stands united against such conspiracies.
“We will defeat every plan to spread fear and chaos. Our full support is with the families of the victims.”
The minister also offered prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured and assured that those responsible will be brought to justice.
