Balochistan continues to suffer from violence perpetrated by various separatist groups, with a recent car bomb attack in Qillah Abdullah resulting in four deaths and 20 injuries. The device was likely aimed at a paramilitary base, but detonated prematurely. Local officials noted that the attack, which caused significant damage to shops and infrastructure, reflects the ongoing struggles within this volatile province, exacerbated by the resurgence of groups like the Balochistan Liberation Army and ISIL. The situation has worsened since the Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan, leading to increased violence in the region.
"The attack is just the latest in Balochistan, which is plagued by insurgency... a car bomb... killed four people and wounded 20..."
"There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing... the IED exploded before reaching its intended destination, suggesting that the attack was bungled..."
