Blast targeting school bus in Pakistan kills four children
Four children were killed in a blast targeting an army school bus in Pakistan's troubled Balochistan province, a government official said on Wednesday. 'The bus was on its way to a school in an army cantonment,' said Yasir Iqbal, the administrator of Khuzdar district, where the incident took place. Around 40 students were in the bus that was headed to an army-run school, when the blast took place, Iqbal said, adding that several were injured in the incident. Balochistan is Pakistan's largest province by area, but smallest by population. The province of some 15 million people in the southwest of the country is home to key mining projects but has been roiled by a decades-old insurgency.

Deadly blast rocks police station in eastern Syria, killing three: Report
At least three people have been killed in a blast targeting a police station in the eastern Syrian town of Al-Mayadeen, the SANA state news agency has reported, citing a security source. The explosion in the Deir az Zor countryside on Sunday also injured several people, the report said, without providing further details. A video verified by Al Jazeera's fact-checking unit Sanad shows the aftermath of the explosion. The incident took place a day after Syrian authorities said security forces killed three ISIL (ISIS) fighters and arrested four others in Aleppo. It was the first time the interim government announced such an operation against the armed group. The raids, launched by the General Security Department in coordination with the General Intelligence Directorate, targeted multiple ISIL sleeper cells operating across Aleppo, Syria's Ministry of Interior said in a statement on Saturday. One security officer was killed in the operation, it said. Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who assumed power in Damascus in December, has long opposed ISIL. His forces battled the group's self-declared caliphate during the Syrian war. Al-Sharaa seized power after his Hayat Tahrir al-Sham armed group led a lightning opposition offensive that toppled Syria's longtime President Bashar al-Assad. Al-Sharaa cut ties with al-Qaeda in 2016. The recent operation comes just months after Syrian authorities said they had foiled an ISIL bombing plot near the Sayeda Zeinab shrine, a key pilgrimage site for Shia Muslims south of Damascus. This also comes after US President Donald Trump stunned the world by announcing on Tuesday that the United States was going to lift sanctions on the country – a move that Syrians hope will help their nation reintegrate into the global economy, and bring much-needed investment.
