Roadside Bomb Targets Official’s Convoy in Balochistan, Several Injured

Islamabad, October 27, 2025 – At least eight people were injured, including seven security personnel, in a roadside bomb attack that targeted the convoy of the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Kech district, Bashir Barech, in Balochistan, Pakistan, earlier today. The incident occurred on Press Club Road in the Turbat area of the province.

According to Kech Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Zohaib Mohsin, the bomb was planted on a motorcycle and detonated remotely as the DC’s convoy passed by. While the DC escaped unharmed thanks to his bulletproof vehicle, the blast injured five Levies personnel, one passerby, and caused damage to nearby vehicles and buildings. The number of injured later increased to eight, with seven being Levies personnel.

“The blast was so intense that four of the vehicles parked nearby and closely located buildings were also damaged,” SSP Mohsin stated.

Police and Frontier Corps personnel have secured the scene and are conducting a thorough investigation.

The attack underscores the ongoing instability in Balochistan, a province plagued by violence linked to ethnic Baloch nationalists who accuse the Pakistani government of exploiting the region’s mineral resources. These allegations are refuted by the government.
