In a tragic incident in Balochistan’s Mastung district, at least 53 people, including a police officer, lost their lives in a suspected suicide drone attack during a 12th Rabiul Awwal procession. Dozens more were injured in the devastating blast.

This attack disrupted a period of relative calm and marked a significant escalation, raising concerns about the peace process in Yemen. The international community called for an immediate halt to all terrorist activities and expressed deep concern about the targeting of civilian infrastructure near the border.

As investigations continue, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Meanwhile, authorities have heightened security measures across the country, particularly during religious gatherings and events, to prevent further incidents of terror.

The attack in Mastung underscores the urgent need for continued efforts to bring peace to the region and eliminate the scourge of terrorism that threatens innocent lives and stability.
