    Pakistan: Nearly 10 security personnel killed in suicide bomb blast in Balochistan's Bolan

    In yet another suicide bomb attack in Pakistan, nine police personnel were killed and at least 15 others were wounded in Balochistan's Bolan on Monday. Kachhi Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mahmood Notezai told Dawn that the blast took place on the Kambri bridge, an area adjoining Kachhi and Sibi borders. Notably, Bolan is situated in the restive Balochistan province in Pakistan's southwestern region.

    Chopper en route to transfer victims from Bolan to Quetta

    According to the Balochistan Information Department, a helicopter was sent to Bolan to transport the injured people to Quetta. Meanwhile, no terror outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. However, it is suspected that it might have been yet another suicide bomb attack planned by the banned terror organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), considering its recent terror activities in Pakistan.

    Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan's recent terror activities

    Pakistan has been recently facing violence from the TTP, an Afghan Taliban movement offshoot that is aligned ideologically with the Afghan unit but appoints its leaders from within the country. The group has claimed responsibility for numerous recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan, with a TTP splinter group revealing it had carried out the Peshawar mosque attack on January 30 that killed 101 people.

    Over 8,000 Pakistan security personnel killed in terror attacks

    Over 8,000 personnel of the Pakistan security forces have been reportedly killed in terrorist incidents since 2000, according to the news agency ANI. Moreover, in one of the most brutal instances, the TTP carried out an attack at Peshawar's Army Public School in 2014, where it killed 141 people, including 132 children of military soldiers and officers.

    Balochistan CM's comments on Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan

    Following the attack, Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo has publicly condemned the terror attacks and held the TTP responsible for the lack of development in the region. "The sacrifices of the martyred will not go to waste. All such conspiracies will be made unsuccessful with the public's support," Dawn quoted Bizenjo quoted as saying.
