A deadly explosion occurred in the Sabakzai area of Zhob, Balochistan, on October 9, 2024, resulting in the tragic death of one person and injuries to ten others. Local police quickly responded to the scene and began transferring the wounded to a nearby hospital. Efforts to determine the nature and cause of the explosion are underway, as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The explosion adds to the escalating violence in Balochistan, a province that has experienced frequent militant activity and insurgency-related incidents. Balochistan, along with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been at the forefront of Pakistan’s war against terrorism, facing numerous attacks in recent years. Just days before this blast, unidentified gunmen targeted Deputy Commissioner Sherani Sana Mahjabeen’s vehicle in Killa Saifullah. Although no casualties were reported in that attack, it highlighted the ongoing security challenges in the region.
While emergency services work to treat the victims and secure the area, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the security threats that continue to plague Balochistan. The authorities remain vigilant as the investigation progresses, but details about the exact motive or responsible parties remain unknown at this time(
