In a major security operation, a 100-kg bomb was defused in Kalat Balochistan on Sunday, preventing what authorities say could have been a catastrophic terrorist attack in the region.
Security forces successfully defused a 100-kg bomb in Kalat Balochistan, after it was discovered planted beneath a bridge in Johan tehsil, officials confirmed. The locally manufactured explosive device was designed to cause large-scale destruction, but timely intelligence and rapid action by security personnel foiled the attack.
A bomb disposal unit promptly reached the site, safely neutralizing the explosive. Authorities have launched an investigation to identify and arrest those responsible.
Five killed in separate armed clash in Kalat
In another incident, at least five people were killed and two others injured during a clash between rival groups in Kalat on Saturday.
One of the deceased was identified as Balach Khan, son of Saadullah of the Lango tribe, while the injured included Nasrullah Lango and a passerby, Allah Dad Samalani. Rescue and law-enforcement teams reached the location and shifted victims to a nearby hospital.
Authorities are conducting separate investigations into both incidents to restore security and stability in the area.
