01 November,2024 07:02 PM IST | New Delhi | mid-day online correspondentBig blast rocks Pakistan's Mastung, 7 including 5 school children killed
A bomb explosion in southwestern Pakistan on November 1 killed at least seven people, including five school students, and injured 23 others. The blast targeted a police van that was on its way to pick up a polio vaccination team. The bomb was hidden in a motorcycle parked near a girls' school in Mastung. One police officer was among the dead, but no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the violence. Pakistan is facing an increase in militant attacks, especially in the northwest, and a rising separatist movement in the south. This incident happened during a nationwide polio vaccination campaign, which started on Monday. Although polio cases dropped in 2023, there are currently 41 active cases in Pakistan. The country, along with Afghanistan, remains one of the last places where polio is still a major health issue, with militants often targeting vaccination efforts.
