A day after a suicide attack on a school bus in Khuzdar that martyred at least ten people, including eight children, Pakistani authorities held a joint press conference addressing the incident. At the briefing, Interior Secretary Muhammad Khurram Agha, alongside Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, said that initial investigations revealed that the group Fitna al-Hindustan was responsible for the bombing. He stated that Fitna al-Hindustan, with direct support from India, orchestrated the attack — a claim corroborated by confessions of convicted terrorists. He added that the ongoing terrorism in Balochistan was not linked to any specific ethnic group or religion, but rather part of India's broader proxy war in the region. In a separate press conference earlier, DG ISPR presented what he described as 'irrefutable' evidence of India's involvement in sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan. He asserted that Indian Army officers are directly orchestrating cross-border terrorism within Pakistan and supplying explosives intended to target civilians and security forces.
