Islamic Emirate Denounces School Bus Attack in Pakistan’s Balochistan, Rejects Accusations

The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has issued a firm condemnation of the recent deadly assault on a school bus in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, labeling the attack on civilians and children as “unjustifiable and inhumane.”

In an official statement shared on the social platform X (formerly Twitter), Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, conveyed heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and categorically dismissed any links between the attackers and Afghan territory.

“Blaming Afghanistan without evidence is irresponsible,” Mujahid said. “The Islamic Emirate strictly prohibits the use of Afghan soil for hostile operations against any neighboring nation.”

The tragic incident occurred in the Khuzdar district, where a school transport linked to Pakistan’s military was targeted, resulting in the deaths of at least five people, including three innocent children.

Pakistan’s military and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif were quick to denounce the attack, pointing fingers at what they described as “Indian-backed terrorist proxies.” However, no tangible proof was made public to substantiate the claims.

In response, India refuted the allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated.

The attack has sparked regional tensions, with Afghan authorities urging for restraint and factual clarity before casting blame.
