Undefined Explosive Device (UED) event in Balochistan, Khuzdar town area, Pakistan on Wed 21st December 2022

The Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA) on December 21, took responsibility for the two blasts that took place in Khuzdar town (Khuzdar District) of Balochistan on December 19 in which at least 20 people were injured, reports The Balochistan Post. BNA issued a statement saying that BNA cadres attacked the operatives of the “notorious death squad leader” Shakeel Durrani, on Umar Farooq Chowk in Khuzdar town. BNA ‘spokesperson’ Mureed Baloch claimed that their cadres targeted the “death squad” members with two remote-controlled bombs when they were on their way to Shakeel Durrani’s place. He further added that along with “death squad” members, some Baloch civilians were also injured in the attack, for which their group expresses regret. “We think it is important to clarify that this attack was strategic to save Baloch pedestrians, but unfortunately after the first blast, some civilians gathered at the site of the attack, and were injured during the second blast.” He said that previously their group has warned Baloch people many times that whenever there is an attack on Pakistani army and its agents, they should stay away from there.
