Deadly Explosion Hits Security Forces Headquarters in Quetta, Eight Lives Lost

A devastating explosion struck outside the headquarters of a paramilitary force in Quetta on Tuesday, claiming at least eight lives and injuring several others. The incident occurred in a sensitive zone of Balochistan’s provincial capital, sparking chaos and fear among residents.

Eyewitnesses reported that the blast was powerful enough to shatter windows in nearby buildings and damage multiple vehicles. Rescue teams rushed to the scene and transported the injured to hospitals, where emergency measures were activated to treat those in critical condition.

Security personnel immediately sealed off the affected area, while investigators began gathering evidence to determine the nature of the attack. Though no group has claimed responsibility yet, authorities believe it may have been a targeted strike against security forces, given the region’s history of militant violence.

Balochistan, which borders Afghanistan and Iran, has frequently witnessed unrest and insurgent activity. Security installations and government officials have been prime targets of such attacks, raising concerns about the stability of the province.

Officials have stepped up security across Quetta and other key locations in Balochistan in the wake of the blast. Leaders condemned the incident, calling it an attempt to destabilize peace efforts in the region.
