Three consecutive explosions struck near the Mangochar Dam in Kalat district on Friday, targeting Pakistani security forces in what is being described as a coordinated attack.
According to initial reports, the blasts occurred in quick succession in the early hours of the morning. Security officials confirm that the explosions were aimed at a convoy of paramilitary forces patrolling the area. While casualty figures have not been officially released, unconfirmed local sources suggest multiple injuries.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Balochistan has witnessed a surge in violence in recent months, with various separatist and militant groups operating in the region.
Security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to locate the perpetrators. Authorities have yet to confirm whether the explosives were planted roadside or triggered remotely.
The Mangochar area, known for its strategic location near key infrastructure, has seen sporadic unrest in the past. Today’s attack marks a significant escalation in violence, raising concerns over regional stability and the safety of ongoing development projects in the province.
