Explosion in Balochistan Kills Two Children, Linked to Pakistani Military Quadcopter
Two children were killed and three others injured in an explosion in Panjgur's Gowargo tehsil, Balochistan, after disturbing a suspicious object reportedly linked to a Pakistani military quadcopter. Local sources allege explosives were attached to the quadcopter, while Pakistani forces reportedly directed journalists to attribute the blast to a hand grenade. The incident has raised concerns over civilian casualties from military drone and quadcopter operations in the region, following previous attacks that injured or killed civilians and prompted calls for independent investigations.
