The death toll from Tuesday’s powerful explosion on Sariab Road in Quetta has climbed to 13, while more than 30 others remain injured, hospital officials confirmed.
The blast struck near Shahwani Stadium, shaking the busy area and prompting frantic rescue efforts as victims were rushed to Civil Hospital Quetta. Doctors said several of the wounded are in critical condition.
The Balochistan Home Department has ordered an inquiry into the incident. Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti condemned the attack, vowing that “terrorist designs will be defeated at all costs.”
Security forces quickly sealed off the site as investigators began collecting evidence to determine the cause of the explosion. So far, no group has claimed responsibility.
