PM Shehbaz, COAS visit injured children after Khuzdar school bus attack

(Web Desk): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir visited Quetta to inquire about the children injured in the suicide attack on a school bus.

On this occasion, the Prime Minister stated that the condition of eight injured children is critical. He said that the nefarious attempts to destabilize Pakistan through Indian proxies will fail, and the entire nation stands shoulder to shoulder with the security forces.

He further stated that the Baloch and Pashtun people have rejected terrorism, and the time has come to wage a decisive war against it. The terrorists will soon be brought to justice.

Army Chief General Asim Munir said that the attack on children was carried out under Indian patronage, and the use of proxies as a state policy by India is condemnable.

Federal ministers present on the occasion said that India has become a hub of instability in the region, and its true face has been exposed to the world.

They added that the facilitators and perpetrators of terrorism will be brought to justice.

It is worth mentioning that earlier today, a suicide attack targeted a school bus in Khuzdar district of Balochistan, resulting in the martyrdom of five individuals — including three female students — and injuring 53 others.

According to the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Khuzdar, initial investigations revealed that the explosion occurred when a suicide bomber blew himself up near the school bus, killing three children onboard.

Sources reported that the condition of some of the injured children remains critical.

The martyred students have been identified as Saniya Soomro from 6th grade, Hafza Kausar from 7th grade, and Ayesha Saleem from 10th grade.
