A suicide bomber targeted a Pakistani security convoy in Balochistan, resulting in the deaths of at least nine soldiers and wounding several others. The attack took place in the city of Quetta, and the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The attack was carried out when the convoy of the paramilitary Frontier Corps was passing through a busy intersection. The explosion was so severe that it destroyed several vehicles and damaged nearby buildings. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan has condemned the attack, stating that such attacks cannot undermine Pakistan’s resolve to fight terrorism. The Prime Minister also praised the sacrifices of the security forces, who are bravely fighting against terrorism.
