Fatal Attack on Bus in Balochistan Raises Ethnic Violence Concerns
…………

A bus traveling from Balochistan to Punjab was attacked overnight, leaving several passengers dead with bullet wounds, officials said. The victims are believed to have been targeted due to their Punjabi ethnicity.

The incident was confirmed and condemned by Pakistan’s Prime Minister and Interior Minister, who labeled it an act of terrorism linked to India-backed militants.

No group has claimed responsibility, but separatist Baloch militants, including the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), have previously targeted passengers from Punjab. The BLA opposes what it views as exploitation of regional resources by the federal government.
