Pakistan has blamed India for a suspected suicide attack on a school bus in the southwestern province of Balochistan on May 21.
The bus was en route to the army public school in the city of Khuzdar when it was reportedly hit by an explosion. The attack claimed the lives of five people – three children, the bus driver and a security guard -, according to local officials, who said that dozens others, including children, were wounded.
Pakistani Police revealed later the initial investigation indicated that the deadly explosion was the result of a suicide bombing.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the deadly attack in Khuzdar. However, Inter-Services Public Relations of Pakistan’s military issued a statement accusing neighboring India of planning and orchestrating the attack.
“Indian terror proxies are being employed as a state tool by India to foment terrorism in Pakistan against soft targets such as innocent children and civilians,” the military said.
“Use of terrorism as a state policy by Indian political government is abhorrent and reflective of their low morality and disregard of basic human norms,” it added.
The military went on to vow that the “planners, abettors and executors of this cowardly Indian sponsored attack will be hunted down and brought to justice and heinous face of India will be exposed in front of the entire world.”
From its side, India’s foreign ministry denied what it called “baseless allegations regarding Indian involvement in unrest in Pakistan”.
The Pakistani accusation came amid high tensions with India. The April 22 attack on Pahalgam in Indian-administered Kashmir sparked a crisis between the two nuclear powers.. New Delhi blamed Islamabad for the attack.
The situation escalated on May 7 following deadly Indian retaliatory strikes against Pakistan. The two counties exchanged strikes across the Line of Control, the de-facto borders in the disputed region of Kashmir, as well as over the internationally-recognized border for the next three days. A ceasefire was announced on May 10.
The attack in Khuzdar could lead to a new wave of clashes between the two nuclear powers, if the talks initiated after the ceasefire result in no progress.

india and pakistan are both being played to further the interests of outside powers. virtually every “terrorist” organisation on the planet is basically just the local cia subsidiary. the cia has been fomenting terrorism in this region with the “baluchi separatists” for years. the ultimate target is china. xinjiang, kasmir, and the baluchi area of pakistan are important parts of the belt and road projects. here and elsewhere, myanmar, thailand, the cia are trying
to sabotage infrastructure projects like ports, roads, high speed rail. they try to do this through political capture, subversion, and outright terrorist attacks against officials, engineers and workers. this has got dirty amerikunt fingerprints all over it. al qaida, taliban, hts, isis, boko haram, mek, it’s all the same story, terrorism is as american as apple pie.
isi (pakistani secret services) has historically been deeply involved with this kind of “jihadism”. otherwise their best friends of turkey/qatar and of course their backers: the usa, britain and israel could well be involved. someone is stirring the pot for sure and they are the same dark forces that reagan unleashed against afghanistan and algeria in the 1980s ultimately.
much like netanyahu or zelensky can’t survive without endless war, it seems to me that the isi can’t either.
who would do such a heinous crime. i suspect western or me intel dirty tricks to manipulate india and pakistan to war.
sponsored by the u.s and the rest of the western globalists.
israel is pushing for a war between pakistan and india that is what is happening right now. the jews want another war another front to divert attention while they will start a war with iran to bring everyone on their side. india is a large and strong country if it is in a big war with pakistan it will support israel in its fight against iran. while pakistan will give iran some weapons and so israel can false flag a nke and do a samson option on all of us.
a couple of years ago i would have said you’re going too far. but israelies are son crazy that today i consider your point of view as possible.
fake ass muslims aka mossad wahhabis.
this kind of extreme gratuitous violence against children is typical al qaeda/isis/bokoharam. you can safely blame turkey, qatar, isi (pakistani secret services), the usa and israel. the legitimate baloch resistance doesn’t do such things. someone is stirring the pot and i’ve already named the usual suspects.
many cia bases and operations in pakistans history . remember osama bin laden was supposedly living there ? but was killed by us seal team 6 without proof of death (body). then seal team 6 managed to magically die in a helicopter crash ? in a helicopter they would never use , in a region they would never be deployed . i smell cia / mossad
