Two separate explosions during election rallies in the Balochistan province have resulted in the tragic loss of at least 27 lives, with over 40 individuals sustaining injuries.
Reports from Geo News indicate that the initial explosion transpired on Wednesday, February 7, within the electoral precinct of 47, located in the Pishin district of Balochistan province.
Subsequently, a second explosion erupted hours later outside the premises of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Pakistan.
Authorities from the state have described the explosions as having a significant impact, with many of the wounded individuals reportedly in critical condition.
While the precise cause of these explosions remains undetermined, Pakistani authorities have attributed them to planted mines.
As of now, no specific group has come forward to claim responsibility for these tragic events.
These explosions, occurring merely a day before the general elections in Pakistan, have further heightened tensions in the region.
