• At least 10 people, including civilians and security personnel, killed in Quetta bombing.
• More than 30 individuals injured after a powerful car bomb explosion.
• Attack occurred outside the Frontier Corps headquarters, with ongoing investigations.

A powerful car bomb exploded outside the headquarters of Pakistan’s paramilitary Frontier Corps in Quetta, killing at least 10 people and injuring over 30, as reported by local authorities. The bombing took place near the busy Pishin Stop area, with eyewitnesses stating that the blast was audible from miles away. Security forces responded quickly, cordoning off the area and launching a search operation to apprehend those responsible for the attack, according to Al Jazeera and TRT Global.

The incident involved the detonation of a car filled with explosives, which was confirmed to be a suicide bombing. Reports indicate that the assailant, driving a Suzuki van, detonated the device as he attempted to breach the Frontier Corps compound, leading to an exchange of gunfire with accomplices who also approached the target. Local officials noted that four militants were killed alongside their civilian and military victims, according to Channel News Asia and TRT Global.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though Baloch separatists and the Pakistani Taliban have been linked to ongoing violence in the region, which has been a hotspot for insurgency and terrorism. Both state and international analysis points to a rising trend in terrorist attacks in Balochistan, where local grievances and insurgencies complicate the security landscape, according to Channel News Asia and Al Jazeera.
