The explosion that struck Quetta\u2019s railway station on Saturday has now resulted in 25 deaths, confirmed Waseem Baig, media coordinator for Balochistan\u2019s provincial health ministry. The toll increased after five critically injured victims succumbed to their wounds while receiving medical care. At least 62 others were wounded in the blast, and many have been transferred to a military hospital for specialized treatment.<\/p>\n
Following the attack, heightened security measures were enforced across Quetta, with law enforcement officials conducting snap-checks to prevent further incidents. Police presence and patrols have been significantly bolstered throughout the city.<\/p>\n
The banned separatist group Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed responsibility for the attack in statements to the media and on social platforms. The organization has a history of targeting government institutions and infrastructure in the Balochistan province.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif strongly condemned the attack and instructed hospital officials to prioritize care for the injured. \u201cProvide the best possible medical treatment to those affected,\u201d Sharif urged health officials. The incident marks another grim chapter in Balochistan\u2019s struggle with insurgency and violence, with authorities vowing to enhance security efforts to protect civilians from further harm.<\/p>\n
