Suicide Bombing Kills Children on Pakistan School Bus, India Accused

A suicide bombing targeted an army-operated school bus in Khuzdar, Balochistan, Pakistan, killing five people including three children and injuring several others. Pakistani authorities, including the military and government officials, accused India of orchestrating the attack through proxy militant groups, labeling it a deliberate act to foment terrorism and destabilize the region. No militant group has claimed responsibility for the bombing, and India has denied involvement while not immediately responding to accusations. The attack has intensified already strained India-Pakistan relations, following a fragile ceasefire after recent cross-border military exchanges triggered by militant violence in Kashmir. Pakistan’s military condemned the attack as an immoral tactic by India, vowing to hold those responsible accountable and to expose India's regional ambitions to the international community. The incident echoes previous deadly attacks targeting schools in Pakistan and highlights ongoing tensions and mutual accusations of supporting militancy between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
