No group has claimed responsibility for the incident so far. Blochistan is a turbulent province in Pakistan’s south west. It has long been plagued by a long-standing insurgency and human rights violations.
Earlier in March, some 21 civilians and four military personnel were killed during a train siege in Balochistan’s remote Sibi district. That attack was carried out by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a separatist group that has waged a decades-long insurgency to gain independence.
