Further details regarding the Kalat attack are awaited as the authorities are yet to officially release any information regarding the casualties, if any.
Pakistan, particularly the Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces, has witnessed a sharp uptick in terrorism-related incidents over the past year.
At least 26 people were killed and 62 injured after a suicide blast ripped through a Quetta Railway Station on November 9, local authorities and hospital officials said.
On September 26, at least two policemen were among a dozen people injured by a bomb attack, which targeted a police vehicle in Quetta.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority announced yesterday that mobile internet services in certain parts of Balochistan were suspended to “ensure public safety”.
