At least three children were killed among the five people when a bomb man attacked a school bus in Belutschistan in Pakistan, the military said on Wednesday (21). The attack was attributed to Indian agents.
There were about 40 students on the bus who drove to a school that was managed in the army, and several were injured, said Yasir Iqbal, administrator of the Khuzdar district, where the incident took place.
The military and the Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif quickly published explanations that condemned violence and “representatives of Indian terror” in accordance with the participation in the attack. They did not share any evidence of the attack on Nova Delhi.
“Plans, accomplices and executors of this cowardly attacked attack are persecuted and brought to court,” said the military unit.
The Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the accusations of the Pakistan of Indian participation.
“In order to distract the attention of his reputation as a global epicenter of terrorism and to hide his own serious failures, he has become an instinctive cause for Pakistan to blame India for all of his internal problems,” said the Indian Ministry of Foreign Ministry, Randhir Jaiswal, in a statement.
The tensions between India and Pakistan remain high after they had agreed on May 10 with a ceasefire. Diplomats warned that after the most dramatic rise of hostility between nuclear weapons, the armistice has been fragile for decades.
Both accuse the other of having supported the militia in their territory – an accusation that denies both sides. The last military rise in which the two countries exchanged missiles was triggered after India accused Pakistan of supporting militants against tourists in the Indian part of the controversial Caxemira region. Islamabad denies all participation.
At least three children and two adults were killed in the suicide attack on Wednesday on Belutschistan, the army said. Local television showed pictures of three basic and high school girl who were killed.
No group immediately took responsibility for the explosion, reminds of one of the deadliest militant attacks in Pakistan’s historyWhen an attack on a military school in the city of Peshawar in the north of the country killed more than 130 children in 2014.
