Grenade Attack Injures 5, Including 4 Children, in Khuzdar

Five people, including four children, were injured in a grenade attack on the house of Hub City Station House Officer (SHO) Qadir Sheikh in Balochistan’s Khuzdar district on Monday, police confirmed.

According to Khuzdar Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Javed Zehri, unidentified assailants hurled a hand grenade at the residence in the Kaushik area of Khuzdar City.

Among the injured were SHO Sheikh’s father and his brother’s four children. The father was shifted to Karachi for further medical treatment, while the children were discharged after receiving first aid.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the attack.

Wave of Violence in Balochistan

The incident comes amid escalating violence in Balochistan. A day earlier, a vehicle-borne suicide bomber targeted a security forces convoy in Noskhi district, resulting in the martyrdom of three security personnel and two civilians.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) identified the fallen soldiers as:

  • Havildar Manzoor Ali (Nawabshah)
  • Havildar Ali Bilawal (Naseer Abad)
  • Naik Abdul Raheem (Badin)

Bus drivers Jalaluddin (Quetta) and Muhammad Naeem (Kharan) also lost their lives in the attack.

On Saturday, a blast in Quetta targeted an Anti-Terrorist Force (ATF) vehicle, leading to the martyrdom of a police officer and injuries to six others.

Additionally, the Jaffar Express train hijacking in Balochistan’s Sibi area left 26 hostages dead, including 18 security personnel, while five more security forces personnel were martyred during the rescue operation.

Military Vows Action Against Terrorists

Following the recent surge in attacks, the military has pledged decisive action against terrorists operating in Balochistan and their facilitators inside and outside the country.

Security forces are conducting operations to eliminate terrorist networks responsible for these attacks, reinforcing their commitment to safeguarding Pakistan’s stability.
