“After the bad failure to intimidate Pakistan through open military media, disgusting terrorist incidents are being orchestrated through these representatives at a scale intensified in Baluchistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, deliberately pointing to civilians in a useless attempt to destabilize Pakistan,” he added.

The alleged bomber embarked on a vehicle loaded with explosives on the school bus while passing beyond Zero Point near the Rakhshan hotel, said the attached commissioner Yasir Iqbal Dashti, and added that the bus was transporting students to the public school of the army located inside the Khuzdar canton. The vehicle was manipulated with more than 30 kilograms of explosives, according to the pump removal equipment.
The wing of the military media declared that “three innocent children and two adults have embraced Shahadat” and several children have suffered injuries in the “cowardly and frightened attack planned and orchestrated by the terrorist state of India and executed by their representatives in Baluchistan.

Shortly after the deadly attack, the security forces threw a cord around the area and launched an investigation. Security hardened in Khuzdar and its surroundings after bombing, with established control points and patrols intensified to avoid more attacks.
ISPR UNMASKS The terror sponsored by the state of India
Last month, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the general director of Public Relations between Services (ISPR) provided evidence of cross -border terrorism sponsored by India in Pakistan, particularly Baluchistan, announcing the arrest of a Pakistani citizen trained in India, and the recovery of an Indian and an improvised explosive device (IED) of him.
Going to a press conference to inform the public about the current security situation in the country and address the accusation without foundation of India, the ISPR DG said that India actively participated in the propagation of terrorism within Pakistan, operating and supporting terrorist networks on Pakistani soil.
Lieutenant General Chaudhry said that India had been found that terrorist networks operated within Pakistan, in which explosives, FDI and other lethal materials were being supplied to terrorists to point not only to security forces but also innocent civilians.

The ISPR DG said that on April 25, an arrest was made near the Jhelum bus stop. “A man named Abdul Majeed, who, according to the reports, was trained in India, was arrested. The authorities recovered an FDI, two mobile phones and RS70,000 in cash,” he added.
A greater investigation led to the recovery of an Indian drone of his house and RS1 million in cash. “The manager was a Junior commissioner of the Indian army, subedar Sukvernder,” he said, adding: “The Indian officer had sent the FDI and instructed the terrorist to collect it from a designated place.”
“A forensic analysis of recovered materials provided irrefutable evidence that could be examined by any credible and independent agency,” he said. “This irrefutable evidence is just a small component of the broader pattern of terrorism sponsored by the State that is organizing India,” said the DG.
