Khuzdar bus attack: Death toll rises to eight including six students

QUETTA: The death toll in the heinous attack on a school bus in  Khuzdar has risen to eight as two more students succumbed to injuries on Friday, according to security sources.

13-year-old Haider Shaheed and 12-year-old Malaika Shaheed succumbed to injuries in the hospital at Quetta.

The deceased includes five female students, one male student, and two other personnel, making a total of eight martyrs in the tragic incident.

The cowardly attack in Khuzdar was planned in the terrorist state of India.

India is using its proxies to spread terrorism and unrest in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. After the humiliating defeat on the battlefield, India has now resorted to cowardly acts, said the security sources.

The blood of these innocent children will be taken to account from Fitna-ul-Hindustan and their Indian masters.

Earlier, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Friday condemned the heinous attack on a School bus in Khuzdar district of Balochistan province.

“This reprehensible act of terrorism resulted in the grievous loss of at least 6 Pakistani nationals, including 4 school-going children, along with 53 injured, 39 of them children,” a press statement issued by the 15-member Council said.

“The members of the Security Council expressed their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and the people of Pakistan, and they wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured.”

“The members of the Security Council reiterated that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever, and by whomsoever committed,” the statement said.
