TURBAT: At least six people were killed and 30 others sustained injuries after a blast hits a bus carrying security forces personnel in Turbat city in Balochistan on Saturday evening.

The incident occurred in the Bahman area, where a bus travelling from Karachi to Turbat was targeted in the attack. A remote-control blast took place near a bus which was carrying police men.

Those injured also include police personnel. At least eight of the injured are reported to be in critical condition, according to police sources.

Security forces and rescue workers quickly reached the scene and shifted the dead and injured persons to a hospital. Sources said that several of the injured are in critical condition.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the attack, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of innocent lives. “Beasts who target innocent people do not deserve to be called human beings,” he said, offering his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and praying for speedy recovery of the injured.
