Suicide blast near paramilitary headquarters in Pakistan's Quetta kills 10
SUMMARY
A car bomb blast near the paramilitary Frontier Corps headquarters in Quetta, Pakistan, killed at least 10 people and injured over 30. The attack occurred on Zarghoon Road and was followed by gunfire. Among the dead were two law enforcement personnel. Witnesses described a massive explosion and chaos followed by shooting. Balochistan's Chief Minister called it a terrorist attack, confirming that four attackers were killed.
Pakistan's President attributed the attack to "misguided extremists" acting on India's agenda, but no group has claimed responsibility. The violence coincides with ongoing local resentment over foreign investments in the resource-rich but impoverished province.
