A powerful Quetta Suicide Attack struck outside the paramilitary Frontier Corps headquarters on Zarghoon Road killing at least 10 people and injuring more than 30. The blast ripped through the provincial capital of Balochistan on Tuesday followed by heavy gunfire that caused chaos in the area.
Witnesses described scenes of panic as windows shattered and nearby offices were rocked by the force of the explosion. Health officials confirmed that two security officers and several civilians were among the dead. Footage shared online showed a vehicle approaching the security compound before exploding.
