A powerful car bomb exploded outside the Frontier Constabulary (FC) headquarters in Quetta, Pakistan, on Tuesday, killing 10 people and injuring more than 32, officials confirmed. Balochistan Health Minister Bakht Muhammad Kakar warned that the death toll could rise further, according to reports by Dawn.
The blast was so powerful that it was heard across Model Town and surrounding areas, shattering the windowpanes of homes and commercial buildings nearby.
### The Attack
Authorities reported that four assailants were involved in the attack. Witnesses and police stated that the attackers arrived in a car, stopped outside the paramilitary compound’s entrance, and engaged security forces in a fierce shootout before detonating the vehicle.
Local news outlets and CCTV footage captured the moments leading to the explosion, showing the car halt in front of the FC headquarters, followed by the blast and subsequent gunfire.
Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti strongly condemned the attack, stating that security forces returned fire and killed all four assailants.
### Medical Response
In response to the incident, an emergency was declared in Quetta’s hospitals. The injured have been rushed to Civil Hospital Quetta, BMC Hospital, and the Trauma Center, all of which activated emergency protocols.
Doctors, nurses, and paramedics were called in for emergency duty to provide immediate care to the victims of the blast.
“Terrorists cannot break the nation’s resolve through cowardly acts, and the sacrifices of our people and security forces will not go in vain,” Chief Minister Bugti said.
### Ongoing Investigation
Rescue teams and police cordoned off the area as authorities launched an investigation into the attack. A senior police officer confirmed that the probe is ongoing.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing yet, but separatist outfits in Balochistan are suspected. The province has witnessed several attacks by banned groups such as the Baloch Liberation Army, which frequently target civilians and security forces in pursuit of independence.
