QUETTA – No casualties were reported after two separate blasts targeted a police checkpoint and a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) vehicle on Qambrani Road in Quetta. Police said the first explosion occurred when unknown motorcyclists hurled a grenade at a police post in the area.

Shortly after, a second blast struck the same vicinity, this time targeting a CTD vehicle that was heading to the scene of the first explosion. Authorities said the improvised explosive device (IED) was attached to a motorcycle and detonated remotely, but all CTD officials escaped unharmed.
The incidents come amid a worsening security situation in Balochistan, with terrorist groups, particularly the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), reportedly adopting new tactics to inflict higher casualties and directly target security forces. Officials have warned of increasing threats to personnel and public areas.
