Death toll in Khuzdar school bus attack rises to six

Khuzdar: The death toll from the cowardly terrorist attack on a school bus in Khuzdar has risen to six, after Sahr Saleem, an eighth-grade student who was critically injured in the tragic incident, succumbed to her wounds.

A case has been registered at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.

The number of martyred students in the Khuzdar attack has now reached four, following the passing of Sahr Saleem. In total, six people have lost their lives in the incident.

It is worth recalling that just a day earlier, five people — including three schoolgirls — were martyred and 38 others injured when terrorists targeted a school bus in Khuzdar.

Security sources claimed that the Khuzdar attack was planned in India and executed in Balochistan through proxies.

The funeral prayers for Shaheed Hafza Kausar, who became a victim of terrorism in Khuzdar, were held in Okara.

The prayers were attended by a large number of Pakistan Army personnel, political and social figures, local residents, and close relatives.  The atmosphere was filled with grief, and every eye was tearful during the solemn occasion.

The body of martyred student Saniya Somro, who also lost her life in the incident, has been transported to Sadiqabad. Her funeral prayers will be offered today in her ancestral village, Goth Joda. Saniya Somro's brother, Mubashir Ali, was also injured in the Khuzdar blast.
