epaselect epa11578238 Pakistani security officials inspect the scene of a blast in Quetta, the provincial capital of restive Balochistan province, Pakistan, 01 September 2024. A grenade attack on a security checkpoint in Quetta's Chaman Phatak area injured two bystanders, Police said. This incident follows a recent wave of violence in Balochistan, where over 50 people, including 14 security personnel, were killed by militants from the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). Balochistan is Pakistan's largest but most sparsely populated province, where a sustained low-level insurgency continues against the Pakistani Government in a bid to gain greater political autonomy and a larger share in profits from natural resources exploited in the area.
