Suspected militant killed in blast on Quetta’s Spinny Road: police
2023-08-04
[Dawn] A suspected terrorist was killed in a blast on Quetta’s Spinny Road on Wednesday night after the kaboom he was carrying detonated, according to police.

Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) police said in a statement that the kaboom probably detonated "accidentally", adding that no suicide jacket or its remains had been found at the site of the blast until late on Wednesday night.

Separately, Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
police said in a statement the suspected Death Eater was carrying kaboom with the intention to commit an act of terrorism.

The statement added that CTD personnel, Sherlocks and a bomb disposal squad had reached the site of the blast after the incident.

The CTD statement said the matter was being investigated.

Over the past few months, the law and order situation in Pakistain has worsened, with terrorist groups executing attacks with near impunity across the country.

Since the talks with the Tehrik-e-Taliban

Pakistain (TTP) broke down in November, the Death Eater group has intensified its attacks, particularly targeting the police in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan and areas bordering Afghanistan. Insurgents in Balochistan have also stepped up their violent mostly peaceful activities and formalised a nexus with the outlawed TTP.

Last month, nine army soldiers were martyred in an attack on a military installation in Balochistan’s Zhob Cantt.

According to Zhob District Commissioner (DC) Azeem Kakar, a civilian woman was also killed in the incident after being caught in the crossfire while five other civilians were left injured.

Around the same time, security forces had come under fire from holy warriors in Balochistan’s Sui during an operation in the area. During the fire exchange, three soldiers were martyred.

Seven bad boyz were potted in both attacks during retaliatory action.
