The United States denounced the attack, which left at least four people dead and numerous others injured, a day after it tore through Sibi in Balochistan.
The terrorist attack in the nation’s unrest-plagued province happened close to a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political event, raising concerns about the security situation in the nation ahead of the general elections, which are set for February 8.
“Undermines the electoral process” is how the US State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs put the attack.
The State Department claimed that “10 people” were killed in the explosion, despite reports of four deaths. This information was posted on the microblogging site X.”The US vehemently denounces the assault on the PTI party event in Sibi that claimed ten lives and jeopardized the integrity of the electoral process. The people of Pakistan are free to select their leader without worrying for the stability and prosperity of their nation. Our sincere condolences go out to the impacted parties,” the message said.
